How to Remove a Submitted PR and then Split the Commits Into Two Separate PRs with Git

  • Delete the PR online.

  • Then in your local repository:

git fetch upstream

git checkout main
  • Check the upstream remotes:
git remote -v
  • Take the output from the above git remote -v command and use git remote add like so:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/rocky-linux/documentation.git
  • Run git reset:
git reset --hard upstream/main
  • Create a separate branch for the first PR, specifying a unique branch name and the commit that was included in the original PR. An example is below:
git checkout -b packer-kickstart-url upstream/main
git cherry-pick 5b5f141
git push -u origin packer-kickstart-url
  • Do the same thing for the second PR branch:
git checkout -b iso-creation-kickstart-link upstream/main
git cherry-pick e19099b
git push -u origin iso-creation-kickstart-link
  • Then create a PR for each branch.
