How to take someone's PR and make your own based off it while keeping their commit:
- Make a new branch, preferibly with the PR# of the original one.
git checkout -b pr/xyz
- Pull the changes to it.
git pull git://github.com/rafase282/wiki.git update/pr-guide
This basically means pull from the repository Rafase282/wiki, branch update/pr/guide into your current branch pr/xyz.
- Make your changes, add, commit, push. If you need to squash make sure to keep the original contributor's commit untouched.
Note: You might need to force push git push -f origin pr/xyz
- Create your PR and in the description make it to close the original PR with
closes #xyz
That should make a new pull request with the original changes, plus your own into a new pull request that will automatically reference and close the original one when merged.
