+As a variation of the above, git alias can be set in git configuration file to make this even easier. Add following lines to either $HOME/.gitconfig (all git repositories) or .git/config (in source repository):
+
+{{{
+[alias]
+        pr = "!f() { git fetch -fu ${2:-upstream} refs/pull/$1/head:pr/$1 && git checkout pr/$1; }; f"
+        pr-clean = "!git checkout master ; git for-each-ref refs/heads/pr/* --format=\"%(refname)\" | while read ref ; do branch=${ref#refs/heads/} ; git branch -D $branch ; done"
+}}}
+
+How to use the aliases:
+{{{
+# Fetch and checkout a PR:
+git pr <id> # (e.g. git pr 832)
+
+git branch -a
+  master
+* pr/832
+  pr/837
+  releasebranch_7_6
+  releasebranch_7_8
+
+# Delete all PRs:
+git pr-clean
+}}}
+
+Note: to be on the safe side, only use this for testing pull request!
