How to send a pull request from parent fork to child fork?

This question explains How to send pull request from my fork to another fork?

However, it only works if both forks are children of the same parent fork.

Now, I have a parent fork, and I want to send a pull-request to a child fork (the opposite of the usual direction). The problem is, I do not see any "Pull Request" button on my fork. What can I do?

Solution

  • When you’re creating a Pull Request on GitHub, you can change which way it goes. Make your fork the Base Repository.
