cloning source code with pull request

[Leah Stapleton]

Hello, 

If I wanted to clone the google source code with a pending pull request (such as https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/596035 ) how would I do it? 

My goal is to test the pull request.

apologies if I shouldn't have asked on this channel

In the upper right corner, there's a set of three vertically stacked dots. It's right below the "Sign in" text, or your profile picture. Clicking that will open a menu of options that includes "Download patch". The keyboard shortcut "d" will get there too.

I find that the second option, "Checkout", works well. It'll give some commands like "git fetch https://go.googlesource.com/go refs/changes/35/596035/40 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD".

I think this type of question would also be in scope for golang-dev, if you prefer.

In most projects you would simply clone the source for the version being patched then download and apply the fix. For source code managed by Git I like to use the `hub apply-mail -3` command to download a patch from a Git repository and apply it.

I've never done this for Go but would be mildly surprised if there was something in the standard tooling to do that with a single command. It's possible someone has written such a tool but unless you're planning on testing third-party patches on a regular basis it's unlikely to be worthwhile to find and learn to such a tool.

$ git clone https://go.googlesource.com/go
$ cd go
$ git fetch https://go.googlesource.com/go refs/changes/35/596035/40
$ git checkout -b change-596035 FETCH_HEAD

Hello,

Shouldn't git-review plugin for git work for googlesource.com too?

After installing the tool and setting up in your local clone one can download any gerrit change locally in one step:

- git review -d #<gerrit change number>

- git review -d <full URL of change>

Uploading patches for a chnage or creating new changes would done with:

- git review

BR,

Roland

possibly but I don't like using extra tools for something as simple as
fetching the changes
