I have two repositories on Github containing the same project, but they are not one the fork of the other.
Is there a way to do a pull request from one repository to the other? Is there a way to declare that the two repositories as forks?
No, you can only submit pull requests between repositories that have been forked from each other. GitHub support has removed a fork connection for me before, and I’ve heard they’ll create one too, so you should give them a shot. If you want to do it yourself, you’ll need a new repository, but can do this:
- Fork a new repo from repo A
- Add it as a remote from repo B
- Push to it and submit a pull request to A
This will work as long as your two repos really are the same, and have a common ancestry. If they don’t, you can ship code between them by creating and applying a patch, but that won’t connect them at all on GitHub.
