Create a pull request to propose and collaborate on changes to a repository. These changes are proposed in a branch, which ensures that the master branch is kept clean and tidy.
Before you can open a pull request, you must create a branch and then add commits to the branch. Pull requests can only be opened if there are differences between your branch and the upstream branch.
- On your GitHub Enterprise instance, navigate to the repository from which you'd like to propose changes.
- In the "Branch" menu, choose the branch that contains your commits.
- To the left of the "Branch" menu, click the green Compare and Review button.
- The Compare page will automatically select the base and compare branches; to change these, click Edit.
- On the Compare page, click Create pull request.
- Type a title and description for your pull request.
- Click Create pull request.
After your pull request has been reviewed, it can be merged into the repository.
