How to cancel a pull request on github?

How can a pull request on github be cancelled?

Solution

  • GitHub now supports closing a pull request

    Basically, you need to do the following steps:

    1. Visit the pull request page
    2. Click on the pull request
    3. Click the "close pull request" button

    Example (button on the very bottom):

    github close pull request

    This way the pull request gets closed (and ignored), without merging it.
