Github pull requests history

Question

Is the history of the pull-requests preserved forever?

I could not find anywhere for how long the pull-requests history is being saved.

Yes, they are.. (You can verify this empirically by picking any mature repo on GitHub and taking a look at the closed PR history.) — Oliver Charlesworth, Nov 19 '17 at 12:45

The pull-requests history is indeed preserved by github forever as long as the repo is not deleted.

If I'm not wrong , but I might be , github was launched in March-April 2008 , so you could check a 9 years old repo to make sure. :) – Nacev Nov 19 '17 at 13:00

How can I clone my repo with the pull-request history? – Oron Bendavid Nov 20 '17 at 09:09
You merge your repo with the pull request you want and then you simply `git clone` – Nacev Nov 20 '17 at 09:11

To see your Github closed Pull Requests on the UI interface:

Go to your repo
Click on "Pull Requests" tab
Change the filter parameter from "is:pr is:open" to "is:pr is:closed" Here's picture Picture of Pull Request on GitHub
