Closing a pull request

You can mark a pull request as Closed. This does not merge the pull request, but it can help you determine which pull requests require action and which pull requests are no longer relevant. We recommend closing a pull request after you merge it. Closting a pull request will automatically send an email to the creator of the pull request as well as any required or optional reviewers. It will not automatically change the status of any issues linked to the pull request.

Note

You cannot re-open a pull request after it has been closed.

To close a pull request

1. Navigate to the project where you want to close a pull request.

2. On the project page, open pull requests are displayed. Choose the pull request that you want to close.

3. Choose Actions, and then choose Close pull request.

   Note

   Depending on your screen size and browser, the Actions button might be hidden behind the Additional info information bar. To view these options, collapse the information bar.

4. Review the information, and then choose Close pull request.
