+
+## Import pull requests from github
+
+### Synopsis
+
+Cherry pick all PRs from github that pass your gh action PR workflow. 
+
+### Description
+
+This tool browses through the github pull requests concerning the project referred to by the
+`github` git remote of your current working directory and cherry picks all 
+those that pass their latest github action workflow.
+
+In addition to picking the PR's commits the tool also prints out (outcommented) 
+bash commands that you can use to copy and paste them in your shell to:
+
+* push the picks to the KorAP gerrit for review
+* and to review the picks automatically with `+1`
+
+### Usage
+
+```shell
+Usage: sh import_github_pull_requests [-h] [-v] [-f]
+        -f   import PRs with **failed** CI tests
+```
+
+### Dependencies
+
+* jq - commandline JSON processor
+    * `apt install jq`
+    * `dnf install jq`
+* currently, the tool depends on a github workflow that has tested the pull request(s)
+
+Ideally you should also have a personal github access token (see [docuumentation](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token) how to create one) and store it in the environment variable
+`GITHUB_KORAP_REPO_AUTH` like in this example:
+
+```shell
+export GITHUB_KORAP_REPO_AUTH="-u janedoe:53bd435ed3e456548ec2d1a94172591cc0ae1167"
+```
+
+### Example
+
+```shell
+$ cd Kustvakt/
+$ ../Tools/bin/import_github_pull_requests
+```
+
+If you experience limited API access, create a personal github access token (s. Dependencies).
+
+The Output should be similar to:
+
+```shell
+remote: Enumerating objects: 16, done.
+remote: Counting objects: 100% (16/16), done.
+remote: Compressing objects: 100% (12/12), done.

+Entpacke Objekte: 100% (39/39), 13.58 KiB | 926.00 KiB/s, Fertig.
