+ [2016-12-18T22:00:44Z] SwingShock Yes. I understand that now. So git shows all the changes line by line ? That must be why it does not show the direct link to the repository in PR.
+ [2016-12-18T22:00:58Z] canton7 yeah, the "changes" tab on a PR shows all of the changes in the PR
+ [2016-12-18T22:01:15Z] canton7 I think it doesn't give you an easy link to the originating repository because there's no point: it's never needed

If someone uploads a virus into the pull request then can't he infect everyone who uses the software's system ?
+ [2016-12-19T00:06:30Z] rangergord hi...I have a question of etiquette. Person A creates an issue on a project, identifying a problem that's no big deal to others, but important to them. Person B sends a PR (minor change) to fix it, but the dev doesn't want to merge it because it's not the way he wants. Person B hasn't been online in the week since this happened to update the PR. Person A really wants this ASAP, is it acceptable
+ [2016-12-19T00:06:30Z] rangergord for them to create a new PR on the project that applies the dev's requested changes?
+ [2016-12-19T00:06:59Z] rangergord If Person A submit a PR to person B's fork, then they're left waiting for god knows how long
+ [2016-12-19T00:16:11Z] llamapixel Is person A in a company working with a senior dev who is Person B ?
+ [2016-12-19T00:17:03Z] llamapixel Is there a heirachy in this group of developers?
