❤️HOW TO GET THE GOLDEN PAIR EXTRAORDINAIRE BADGE EASILY❓

How to get the Golden Pair Extraordinaire badge easily?

Step 1️⃣: Install GitHub CLI

To get started, you need to install the GitHub CLI. Follow the instructions for your operating system:

For macOS

brew install gh

For Windows

You can download the installer from the GitHub CLI releases page.

For Linux

Use the package manager for your distribution. For example, on Ubuntu:

sudo apt install gh

Step 2️⃣: Authenticate with GitHub CLI

After installing, you need to authenticate with your GitHub account. You can do this using either a web-based login or a personal access token.

Web-based Login

Run the following command:

gh auth login

Follow the prompts to authenticate via your web browser.

Personal Access Token

If you prefer to use a personal access token, you can create one in your GitHub account settings. Then run:

gh auth login --with-token

Paste your token when prompted.

Step 3️⃣ & 4️⃣: Define Co-authors' Names and Emails, Create and Merge Pull Requests

Create a script file (e.g., create_prs.sh) in the your local repository(if you don't have one, clone one or create new one then clone it.) and And make sure there are .envexample file in the repository and dev and main branch. Also you are on the dev branch.

If not you can run this command to create them.

touch .envexample
git checkout -b dev
git push -u origin dev

Then prepare your bash script file. Define your co-authors' names and emails at the top of the script.

(❗❗❗ Make sure this repository is public or you have to invite the co-authors to the repository before running the script.)

Then, add the following loop to create and merge pull requests 10 times:

#!/bin/bash

# Define co-authors' names and emails
COAUTHOR_1_NAME="John Doe"
COAUTHOR_1_EMAIL="[email protected]"

COAUTHOR_2_NAME="Jane Smith"
COAUTHOR_2_EMAIL="[email protected]"

COAUTHOR_3_NAME="Alice Johnson"
COAUTHOR_3_EMAIL="[email protected]"

# Loop to create and merge pull requests 10 times
for i in {1..10}
do
    # Make a change in the dev branch
    echo "NEW_ENV_VARIABLE='value'" >> .envexample

    # Step 2: Add changes to git
    git add .envexample

    # Commit with multiple co-authors using a here document
    git commit -F - <<EOF
Update .envexample for change #$i.

Co-authored-by: $COAUTHOR_1_NAME <$COAUTHOR_1_EMAIL>
Co-authored-by: $COAUTHOR_2_NAME <$COAUTHOR_2_EMAIL>
Co-authored-by: $COAUTHOR_3_NAME <$COAUTHOR_3_EMAIL>
EOF

    # Push changes to the dev branch
    git push origin dev

    # Create a pull request from dev to main using GitHub CLI
    pr_number=$(gh pr create --base main --head dev --title "Merge dev to main for change #$i" --body "Merging changes from dev to main for change #$i.")

    echo "Created pull request #$pr_number"

    # Merge the pull request
    gh pr merge $pr_number --merge
    echo "Merged pull request #$pr_number"

    # Optional: Wait for a short period to ensure timing
    sleep_duration=$((RANDOM % 3 + 1))  # Random sleep between 1 and 3 seconds
    echo "Sleeping for $sleep_duration seconds..."
    sleep $sleep_duration  # Sleep for the random duration
done

Step 5️⃣: Run the Script

Make your script executable.

chmod +x create_prs.sh

Then whenever you want to get the badge, run the script:

./create_prs.sh

This will create and merge 10 pull requests from the dev branch to the main branch, with the specified co-authors. So you can get the Golden Pair Extraordinaire badge easily by changing the end value of i to 48 at once on the above script.

Is it easy? 😊

I think so. 🤣
