Creating a pull request to non-forked repo. #788

Closed robert-mijakovic closed 2 years ago

robert-mijakovic commented 2 years ago

I experienced an issue where I couldn't create a pull request. The reason is that I haven't created a fork of a repository to my GitHub account. This is expected but didn't come to my mind.

Folks, if you experience such an issue, please make a fork into your own GitHub space before creating a pull request.

The error looked like this.

$ eb --new-pr nvompi.py --pr-commit-msg "Adds nvompi toolchain. The idea is to replicate what gompi/foss/GCC(core) do."
