@kraft: You can use your own WordPress using the Friends plugin and the beta version of the ActivityPub plugin: https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-activitypub/pull/172. Granted, not as good as an experience as your own instance yet but working on it.

Checking out a Github Pull Request on the command line

October 6, 2022October 26, 2023

Loving this alias (requires brew install gh):

pr() {
        git fetch
        gh pr checkout $*
}

It will switch to the right git branch based on the PR number like this: pr 45 will switch to the branch of pull request 45 of that github repo
