Is it possible to accept pull request from a cloned/forked repo?

Question

Is it possible to accept pull request from a cloned repo?

Example ( fork of repo ):

• Repo #1: https://github.com/acme/original_project
• Repo #2: https://github.com/blah/original_project ( fork )

Pull Request Limbo:

• Repo #1 has new pull request but does not accept/merge
• Repo #2 wants the new pull request from Repo #1

Is there any way to accept the pull request from Repo #1 to Repo #2?

Does this make sense? Maybe a git upstream pull request?

Answer 1

The pull request applied to Repo #1 comes from a fork(another repository). If Repo #2 would like to apply the pull request, it's as simple as adding the fork as a remote and then fetch the changes directly from that fork.

See https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo and https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests , which actually explain this in much more detail.

Another approach would be to directly apply the patch by using git am . There is an example of git am in usage in the latter link.
