Open Bitbucket PR's from the Command Line

I'm a fan of Git command line tools. The more familiar I become with Git hosting platform's website, the more I want to control it with a CLI.

When you push a branch to Bitbucket, part of the response is a pull request URL. That URL is a create page for a pull request against the default branch.

I've taken this idea a step further and created a script for my project that visits this page:

#!/bin/sh

BRANCH=`git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`
open "http://bitbucket.org/<organization>/<project>/pull-requests/new?source=${BRANCH}&t=1#diff"

This script reads my current branch name and visits the Bitbucket 'create PR' page in a diff view.
