PR from a Fork
Last updated
What is PR from a Fork?
A pull request from a fork lets a contributor propose changes to a repository they don't have write access to. The contributor forks the repository, makes changes on their own copy, and opens a pull request comparing their fork's branch against the original repository. This workflow is the standard way open source contributions happen, since it doesn't require granting outside contributors direct write access.
