I just wondering is there an option in SourceTree to change the default branch of automatic pull requests.

If you are using SourceTree & github the answer seems to be no :( Yes ! see the last part of my answer !

The documentation of attlasian says that you can do that in BitBucket if the admin has allowed that option (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Work+with+pull+requests)

If you are pulling a request across branches, you can have the option to close the branch when your request is merged. Whether you have this option depends on whether the repository is Git or Mercurial. Mercurial repositories always have this option. Git repositories have this option if the repo administrator allows it; Otherwise, the option is greyed out.

In other hand if you are working with github you can do that manually.

Merge pull request to a different branch than default, in Github

---Edit:

Looking deep i found that when you create your PullRequest in github you can select which will be your branch used as "base" enter image description here

  • Probably related, hope I can revive the discussion. I am not an admin, can't tell you about more specifics of our settings, but we use git & github. My doubt is about making several "pull requests". Seems that after my first pull request was accepted and merged to our main, github doesn't provide s the option to make a second pull request anymore. – notNullGothik Jan 27 '17 at 17:40
  • Is it that once merged, my branch was locked? Even if I can continue doing commits to that branch? The reason for a second pull request, is that I made a mistake and have to merge once more. I know one solution is to create a new branch from the merged and another pull request round from it, but that's not about. Thanks. – notNullGothik Jan 27 '17 at 17:41
  • According to this workflow, it is not possible to do that even with topic branches, anyone can confirm it? [git & github workflow on topic branches](https://blog.reigndesign.com/blog/creating-and-deleting-topic-branches-with-git-and-github/) – notNullGothik Jan 27 '17 at 18:04

  • Thanks! Most rated answer is NO, but actually revert might be the only possible solution. – notNullGothik Jan 28 '17 at 00:54
