+ [2016-12-28T22:46:29Z] hightower3 Hey folks, I don't really understand why after opening a pull request, further commits/pushes get automatically added to the open pull request. Is there a way to create two commits in a row, and have each be a separate pull request?
+ [2016-12-28T22:46:55Z] preaction hightower3: only if you put them on separate branches
+ [2016-12-28T22:47:10Z] preaction merges can only happen from branch to branch, so PRs are attached to branches, not commits
+ [2016-12-28T22:47:31Z] hightower3 Ok got it, thanks
+ [2016-12-28T22:48:12Z] preaction and it's totally a thing to make a branch per commit, even to base one branch on the other branch and send them in as two PRs, but it's usually better to make PRs as atomic as possible (so, not related to each other)

+ [2016-12-29T01:05:44Z] nathdwek Hey, is there a way to open a PR from the forked repository to a fork?
+ [2016-12-29T01:09:08Z] nathdwek We have a new contributor who opened a PR, there are some minor changes I'd like to see him add to his PR in order to get going. But I can't seem to open a PR on his repo (the fork) from our source repo (which was forked by the new contributor)
+ [2016-12-29T01:10:49Z] nathdwek Or is there a better way to collaborate with a new contributor on a topic? Ideally we could set him up with a branch and give him write rights on that branch but I don't know if that is possible for a free OSS repo
