Export Pull Requests

Export pull requests/merge requests and/or issues to a CSV file.

Supports GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.

Installation

Ruby version < 3 is required (why?).

With Ruby installed run:

gem install export-pull-requests

This installs the epr executable.

Config

These can all be set by one of the below methods or via the command line.

Token

The API token can be set by:

• EPR_TOKEN environment variable
• epr.token setting in .gitconfig (add via git config --add epr.token <your API token>)
• github.oauth-token setting in .gitconfig

Default Service

github is the default. You can set a new default via EPR_SERVICE.

Examples

Export open PRs and issues in sshaw/git-link and sshaw/itunes_store_transporter:

epr sshaw/git-link sshaw/itunes_store_transporter > pr.csv

Export open pull request not created by sshaw in padrino/padrino-framework:

epr -x pr -c '!sshaw' padrino/padrino-framework > pr.csv

Export open merge requests from a GitLab project:

epr -x pr -p gitlab gitlab-org/gitlab-ce > pr.csv

Export all issues from a GitLab project:

epr -x issues -p gitlab gitlab-org/gitlab-ce > pr.csv

Service Notes

To connect to a custom/"Enterprise" installation of any of the supported services use the endpoint option (-e).

The provided URL must point the API endpoint, not the user-facing site. For GitHub this is http(s)://YOUR-SITE/api/v3.

Bitbucket

You can use app passwords for the API token. Just provide your token info in bitbucket_username:app_password format:

epr -p bitbucket -t bitbucket_username:app_password user/repo1

GitLab

Authentication can be done via a personal access token.

Enterprise editions of GitLab have an issue export feature.
