No PR opened, if branch is up to date about git-xargs HOT 5 CLOSED

I just hit the same issue. It actually pushes the code to the existing branch correctly, so the original PR gets updated, but then you get this error about failing to try to open the PR again. I'll take a look.

Hey,

you are fast, too fast :)
The problem I ran into, was that on the first run, no PR was openend (because of the hard coded master-branch, but could also be missing permissions or something else) and on the second run, git-xargs stopped because the push did not changed the remote branch.
Updating the PR won't help in this case, because there is none.

I think you have to change the method pushLocalBranch and filter for the "already up-to-date"-Error

Hello,

I tested 0.0.8 and still run in this issue.
This time the tool stopped earlier, because the script does not change the local repository. So there was nothing to commit.

My Expectation is, that the tool opens a PR as long as the given branch differs from the default-branch.

I think that's a similar, but separate issue: detecting if (a) there is an existing branch in the remote but (b) no existing PR for that branch. Could you file a separate issue for that?

done, see #39
