It first uses the API to check if there are open PRs for the current branch. Then it uses hub to create a PR. \n\nOn a fresh system, the result of that would be that the user is asked for their credentials twice, first once by the API, then once by hub.\n\nIdeally, we would have one set of stored credentials.\n\nIf we intend to stick with using hub internally, we should be accessing hub credentials. They are stored in plaintext and easily readable.\n\nIf we intend to not rely on hub at some point, then we should somehow provide hub with the code-stored set of credentials, if that's possible.\n\nI think the first choice (assume we will keep using hub) is prefered.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/begedin","@type":"Person","name":"begedin"},"datePublished":"2015-07-21T09:35:42.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/19/code/issues/19"}
