Any user can create an issue on Github.
There are 2 ways to resolve a issue using pull requests
Github Manual Way
- create a new branch
git checkout fix-issue - make the changes while in that branch
- once the branch is done, publish the branch
git push - Github will ask option to create a pull request
- Edit the merge branches accordingly
- complete the merge and PR with a comment
close #1where the issue is #1 - delete the branch
- for local removal do
git branch -D fix-issue
Github Auto Branch
- under the issues, Github will automatically create a branch; however, the branch will be based on changes in master branch
- checkout the branch following github’s instructions
git fetch origin
git checkout the-branch-name- tip: make sure to not include
origin/the-branch-namein the checkout
- Once the PR is pushed to github,
compare and pull request, fill in the appropriate info, closing is the same as the manual way Github Manual Way
