A project on GitHub that I have a fork of has a new pull requests that I want to pull into my fork that the author has not pulled in yet.
Is there a simple way to apply pull request from other forks into my fork? Is there something else here that I am missing?
Update: Via Webpage
You can also do this via the github webpage.
I assume, you should have already a fork (MyFork) of the common repo (BaseRepo) which has the pending pull request from a fork (OtherFork) you are interested in.
- Navigate to the fork (
OtherFork) which has initiated the pull request which you like to get into your fork (MyFork) - Go to the pull requests page of
OtherFork - Click new pull request
- The pending pull request(s) should be offered. Remember to select proper
OtherFork branch too. Select on the left side as the base fork your fork (MyFork) (IMPORTANT). - Now the option of
View pull request should change to Create pull request. Click this.
Now you should have a pending pull request in your fork (MyFork), which you can simply accept.
