Take over a pull request

When a pull request someone else opened becomes yours to finish (its author is away, say), take it over:

Terminal window
wloop take-over https://github.com/acme/api/pull/4511
  • An existing review workspace REVIEW <branch> is renamed to <branch> and keeps its link; without one, a workspace is created and linked.
  • From then on the pull request is followed as yours: the author rules place its card, it gets address rounds when reviews arrive, and it no longer gets automatic review rounds.
  • The take-over writes no card itself.

To take it over and start an address round at once:

Terminal window
wloop address https://github.com/acme/api/pull/4511 --take-over finish the pagination and answer Ana's thread

From the cockpit, Take over (A) on the row, which asks for a y naming the pull request first. From Explore, Take over on a result adds the pull request to the loop first, and with guidance runs an address round.

The address intent is owner_only: on a pull request that is not yours and not taken over, the cockpit shows Address disabled with “Not yours: take it over first”.
