Hey there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after reading through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
Nonetheless, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back often!

I know this post is quite old, but is there a way to do that for a specific commit from the original repo ?

So, I did what was suggested, I:
- pulled changes
- merged
- pushed to my fork
- made some changes
-pushed again to my fork
-made a pull request

However, the pull request shows all the commits that were merged from the first pull. Is that a problem? It appears like I am adding files that are already there. The files changed says 1, so that is correct, but its all the old commits that I didn’t make, but that were part of the merge, that are bothering me.

Greetings from Carolina! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to check out your blog on my iphone during lunch break. I really like the knowledge you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home.
I’m surprised at how fast your blog loaded on my phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G
.. Anyhow, wonderful site!

Excellent post, thanks so much! As someone who still really struggles with Git and GitHub (though comfortable with hg and BitBucket) this really helped and saved me lots of head scratching.

One suggestion though: add in the “git push” command as an update to the post because like @Joe I don’t know Git well enough to know that was the command that was required (but thanks to @Steve Piercy for making it clear.)

Very helpful. I did ‘git pull my-remote-master’ instead for the second step. Works great.
