Updating a pull request

So, you've submitted a pull request.

Someone has offered you feedback that requires making changes.

Do you really have to close the pull request and submit a new one?

Absolutely not!

If you've followed the instructions in the CONTRIBUTING document:

  1. You have a copy of the repository on your local computer.
  2. You have a branch named after what you're working on.
  3. You have submitted the pull request.

Here's all you have to do:

  1. Make sure you are working in that same branch.
  2. Make the updates or changes that were recommended.
  3. Click "sync" (if you are using GitHub Desktop) or, using Command Line, do a push to your remote

If you look at the pull request, then you should see the updates.
