Closing a pull request

Close a pull request without merging it to manage unnecessary changes or address alternative solutions in other branches.

Tipp

If you opened a pull request with the wrong base branch, instead of closing it and opening a new one, you can change the base branch. See Changing the base branch of a pull request.

  1. Klicke unter dem Namen deines Repositorys auf Pull requests.

    Screenshot der Hauptseite eines Repositorys. In der horizontalen Navigationsleiste ist eine Registerkarte mit der Bezeichnung „Pull Requests“ dunkelorange umrandet.

  2. In the "Pull Requests" list, click the pull request you want to close.

  3. At the bottom of the pull request, below the comment box, click Close pull request.

  4. Optionally, delete the branch. This keeps the list of branches in your repository tidy.
