How can I fetch an unmerged pull request for a branch I don't own?

Asked 2011-07-19T07:16:23.507

I need to pull in a specific pull request (that hasn't been processed into the main stream yet) in the NServiceBus repo:

It's obviously not my repo, but I need the changes that exist in that pull request.

What is the best way to do this?

git github git-pull pull-request

To fetch a pull into your repository:

git fetch git@github.com:jboss/jboss-common-beans.git refs/pull/4/head

Then do whatever you want with FETCH_HEAD:

git checkout -b new-branch FETCH_HEAD
