# Creating a pull request

Create a pull request to propose changes to the code in a repository.

If you want to create a new branch for your pull request but don't have write permissions to the repository, you can fork the repository first. See [Creating a pull request from a fork](/de/enterprise-server@3.21/pull-requests/how-tos/create-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork) and [Forks](/de/enterprise-server@3.21/pull-requests/reference/forks).

When you create your pull request, you can specify which branch you want to merge your changes into. Pull requests can only be opened between two different branches.

Sie können eine Pullanforderung mit einem Problem verknüpfen, um anzuzeigen, dass ein Fix ausgeführt wird, und das Problem automatisch schließen, wenn die Pullanforderung zusammengeführt wird. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter [Einen Pull Request zu einem Issue verknüpfen](/de/enterprise-server@3.21/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/using-issues/linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue).

   ![Screenshot des Banners über der Liste der Dateien](/assets/images/help/pull_requests/pull-request-compare-pull-request.png)

4. Use the *base* branch dropdown menu to select the branch where you want to merge your changes. Then, use the *compare* branch dropdown menu to choose the topic branch where you made your changes.

5. Gib einen Titel und eine Beschreibung für Deinen Pull Request ein.

6. Klicke zum Erstellen eines Pull Requests, der überprüft werden kann, auf **Pull Request erstellen**.
   Verwende zum Erstellen eines Pull Request-Entwurfs das Dropdownmenü. Wähle **Pull Request-Entwurf erstellen** aus, und klicke anschließend auf **Pull Request-Entwurf**. Wenn Sie Mitglied einer Organisation sind, müssen Sie gegebenenfalls den Zugriff auf Entwürfe von Pull Requests von einem Organisationsbesitzer anfordern. Weitere Informationen findest du unter [Pull requests](/de/enterprise-server@3.21/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/about-pull-requests#draft-pull-requests).

> \[!TIP]
> Nachdem du einen Pull Request erstellt hast, kannst du eine bestimmte Person bitten, [review your proposed changes](/de/enterprise-server@3.21/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/reviewing-changes-in-pull-requests/reviewing-proposed-changes-in-a-pull-request). Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter [Requesting a pull request review](/de/enterprise-server@3.21/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/requesting-a-pull-request-review).

After your pull request has been reviewed, it can be merged into the repository. See [Merging a pull request](/de/enterprise-server@3.21/pull-requests/how-tos/merge-and-close-pull-requests/merging-a-pull-request).

To create a pull request, use the `gh pr create` subcommand.

```shell

To assign a pull request to an individual, use the `--assignee` or `-a` flags. You can use `@me` to self-assign the pull request.

```shell
gh pr create --assignee "@octocat"
```

To specify the branch into which you want the pull request merged, use the `--base` or `-B` flags. To specify the branch that contains commits for your pull request, use the `--head` or `-H` flags.

```shell
gh pr create --base my-base-branch --head my-changed-branch
```

To include a title and body for the new pull request, use the `--title` and `--body` flags.

```shell
gh pr create --title "The bug is fixed" --body "Everything works again"
```

To mark a pull request as a draft, use the `--draft` flag.

```shell
gh pr create --draft
```

To add labels or milestones to the new pull request, use the `--label` and `--milestone` flags.

```shell
gh pr create --label "bug,help wanted" --milestone octocat-milestone
```

To add the new pull request to a specific project, use the `--project` flag.

```shell
gh pr create --project octocat-project
```

To assign an individual or team as reviewers, use the `--reviewer` flag.

```shell
gh pr create --reviewer monalisa,hubot --reviewer myorg/team-name
```

To create the pull request in your default web browser, use the `--web` flag.

```shell
gh pr create --web
```

<div class="ghd-tool desktop">

1. Click **Preview Pull Request**. GitHub Desktop opens a preview dialog that shows the diff of the changes between your current branch and the base branch.

   Alternatively, to go straight to GitHub to create your pull request, select the dropdown icon and click **Create Pull Request**.

2. Confirm that the branch in the **base:** dropdown menu is the branch where you want to merge your changes.

   ![Screenshot of the "Open a Pull Request" dialog window. A button with a dropdown icon, labeled "base: development", is outlined in orange.](/assets/images/help/desktop/base-branch-selection.png)

   GitHub Desktop tells you whether the current branch can be automatically merged into the base branch.

   ![Screenshot of the "Open a Pull Request" dialog window. A status label stating "Can't automatically merge" is highlighted with an orange outline.](/assets/images/help/desktop/preview-dialog-merge-status.png)

3. Click **Create Pull Request**. GitHub Desktop opens your default browser and takes you to GitHub.

4. Gib einen Titel und eine Beschreibung für Deinen Pull Request ein.

## Making changes to files in your pull request

After you open your pull request, you can continue changing files by adding new commits to your head branch.

<div class="ghd-tool webui">

You can also make changes to files on the GitHub website.

1. On GitHub, navigate to a pull request in a repository.
2. Klicke im Pull Request auf **<svg version="1.1" width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 16 16" class="octicon octicon-file-diff" aria-label="file-diff" role="img"><path d="M1 1.75C1 .784 1.784 0 2.75 0h7.586c.464 0 .909.184 1.237.513l2.914 2.914c.329.328.513.773.513 1.237v9.586A1.75 1.75 0 0 1 13.25 16H2.75A1.75 1.75 0 0 1 1 14.25Zm1.75-.25a.25.25 0 0 0-.25.25v12.5c0 .138.112.25.25.25h10.5a.25.25 0 0 0 .25-.25V4.664a.25.25 0 0 0-.073-.177l-2.914-2.914a.25.25 0 0 0-.177-.073ZM8 3.25a.75.75 0 0 1 .75.75v1.5h1.5a.75.75 0 0 1 0 1.5h-1.5v1.5a.75.75 0 0 1-1.5 0V7h-1.5a.75.75 0 0 1 0-1.5h1.5V4A.75.75 0 0 1 8 3.25Zm-3 8a.75.75 0 0 1 .75-.75h4.5a.75.75 0 0 1 0 1.5h-4.5a.75.75 0 0 1-.75-.75Z"></path></svg> Files changed**.
