Send a pull request on GitHub for only latest commit

Question

I forked a project on github and am successfully making changes to my local master and pushing to origin on github. I want to send a pull request, but only want to include t

Answer 1

I ended up in a situation where I had forked a fork and wanted to submit a pull request back to the original project.

I had:

• orignal_project
• forked_project (created from original project at SHA: 9685770)
• my_fork (created from forked project at SHA: 207e29b)
• a commit in my fork (SHA: b67627b) that I wanted to submit back to original project

To do this, I:

1. created a new branch from the SHA where the original project was forked
2. pulled all from the original project
3. cherry picked the commit I wanted to submit as a pull request
4. pushed it all up to github

The git commands were something like:

1. git branch my-feature-request 9685770
2. git checkout my-feature-request
3. git pull https://github.com/original_project/original_project.git
4. git cherry-pick b67627b
5. git push origin my-feature-request

Then I picked my-feature-request as the branch for my pull request to the original project.
