[NFBCS] Managing Pull Requests on Github with Screenreader

[Drenth, Joe]

Hi Tim,

I use the command line interface for Git, and it works perfectly well with Git Hub. I believe pull requests are handled as separate branches, so once you pull down the branch, you can generate diff files that show what changed. I prefer diff files that prefix lines with plus or minus depending on if the line was added or removed. It makes even complicated merges straightforward.

The free book "Pro Git" by Scott Chacon is very helpful, so if you do not have it, I recommend finding it on the web, or I can transfer it to you a different way.

Hi, I have been meaning to ask this for a while now. I was wondering how other screenreader users have been handling Github pull requests using JAWS or NVDA. I can open and close the pull requests in the web interface, but it is just not very easy because there are not really any landmarks to jump to everything that I need to, at least that I have figured out.

Any suggestions for moving through the Github interface faster, or perhaps an alternative approach to using the web site?

Thanks,

Timothy Breitenfeldt
