About:
prr is a command-line tool that enables GitHub code reviews to be conducted via email, similar to mailing list workflows. It fetches pull requests and formats them into email messages, allowing developers to review and comment using their preferred email client. This bridges the gap between GitHub's web interface and traditional, patch-based review processes.
Key Features:
  • Fetches GitHub pull requests and formats them as emails
  • Applies review comments from email replies back to GitHub
  • Integrates with standard email clients and command-line workflows
  • Supports a patch-based, offline-friendly review process
Use Cases:
  • Conducting GitHub code reviews via email for a more terminal-centric workflow
  • Maintaining an offline archive of code reviews
  • Integrating GitHub with mailing list style development processes
Alternatives:
  • GitHub Web UI – prr offers an email-based, offline-capable alternative to the graphical web interface.
  • git-send-email – prr automates the process by bridging GitHub's API with email, whereas git-send-email is for raw patches.
