I want to use a github project (mgsplitviewcontroller). Unfortunately the owner does not appear to be accepting changes. There are several pull requests that I would love to merge in, but being new to github I can’t figure it out.

What I would expect:

  • I fork the project
  • I review and inspect the pull requests from the original
  • I merge in the pull requests that I want to accept

Forking is easy, but once I have done that, I can’t get at the pull requests for the original.

I have read this answer on how to apply the patches to my local copy, but it does not tell me how to get the URL’s for the patches, and I can’t seem to find that in the github site.
