Git fetch Pull Requests from Azure DevOps

Git fetch Pull Requests from Azure DevOps

问题

I want to fetch, using git, the list of Pull Requests in a repository hosted in Azure DevOps.

Github has the support. We can just add this to .git/config:

[remote "origin"]
  fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*

But when I tried the same method for Azure DevOps, it didn't fetch anything. I also tried git-pr from the git-extras package.

I am guessing if they have the support, the path might be different from refs/remotes/origin/pr/.They have a REST API endpoint to fetch pull requests, but I couldn't find anything about doing the same using git.

For Azure DevOps the configuration is slightly different. You can add the following to .git/config:

下面这个配置，只能获取Active的pull request

[remote "origin"]
        fetch = +refs/pull/*/merge:refs/remotes/origin/pull/*

It is also possible to perform an ad-hoc fetch of a pull-request into a local branch without prior configuration like this:

git fetch origin refs/pull/$ID/merge:$LOCALBRANCH

---

Example fetch and checkout (with configuration):

$ git fetch origin -v
remote: Azure Repos
remote: Found 1 objects to send. (18 ms)
Unpacking objects: 100% (1/1), done.
From ssh.dev.azure.com:v3/aaaa/bbbb/cccc
 = [up to date]      main              -> origin/main
 = [up to date]      test-branch       -> origin/test-branch
 * [new ref]         refs/pull/1/merge -> origin/pull/1
$ git checkout pull/1
Branch 'pull/1' set up to track remote branch 'pull/1' from 'origin'.
Switched to a new branch 'pull/1'

Example ad-hoc fetch and checkout (no prior configuration):

下面这个可以拿到已经完成的pull request

$ git fetch origin refs/pull/1/merge:pull/1
remote: Azure Repos
remote: Found 1 objects to send. (53 ms)
Unpacking objects: 100% (1/1), done.
From ssh.dev.azure.com:v3/aaaa/bbbb/cccc
 * [new ref]         refs/pull/1/merge -> pull/1
$ git checkout pull/1
Switched to branch 'pull/1'

Always fetch all pull requests for all repositories

git config --global --add remote.origin.fetch "+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*"
