title: Improve Existing Pull Request by Another Contributor
|
|
---
|
|
How to take someone's PR and make your own based off it while keeping their commit:
|
|
|
|
1. Make a new branch, preferibly with the PR# of the original one.
|
|
|
|
`git checkout -b pr/xyz`
|
|
|
|
1. Pull the changes to it.
|
|
|
|
`git pull git://github.com/rafase282/wiki.git update/pr-guide`
|
|
|
|
This basically means pull from the repository **Rafase282/wiki**, branch **update/pr/guide** into your current branch **pr/xyz**.
|
|
|
|
1. Make your changes, add, commit, push. If you need to squash make sure to keep the original contributor's commit untouched.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: You might need to force push `git push -f origin pr/xyz`
|
|
|
|
1. Create your PR and in the description make it to close the original PR with `closes #xyz`
|
|
|
|
That should make a new pull request with the original changes, plus your own into a new pull request that will automatically reference and close the original one when merged. |
