@saranicole are you with github? or just another user?

saranicole commented 8 years ago

@sbrinkmeyer I'm another monkey like you

saranicole commented 8 years ago

@sbrinkmeyer some of these questions I know some I don't

You can -- some projects even set up a duplicate label to make this easier.

There seems to be something automatic, too, see: this issue is a duplicate of #1

@thorade this is super cool. how did you manage to add an alt text to the "duplicate of" words?

thorade commented 7 years ago

I did not do it, github did it https://github.com/blog/2398-manage-issues-and-pull-requests-with-keyword-updates

How can I unmark an issue marked as a duplicate?

Thanks for reaching out to GitHub Support!

We haven't reverted this feature, but we have made some changes to it based on feedback from users.

This should still work if you make a comment with only the phrase and the issue it relates to, and no other punctuation or text.

For example:

This will work - Duplicate of #1 This will not work - Duplicate of #1. This will not work - Duplicate of #1. Please close this issue

I hope this helps to clarify.

Cheers, John GitHub Support

Duplicate of #1

bsonntag commented 6 years ago

@thorade does that apply to the "closes" feature too?

thorade commented 6 years ago

When closing issues from a pull request, you can have additional text and it will still close the issue.
