can't move base branch of PR to a different fork

[aspiers]

These articles explain how it is now possible to change the base branch of a PR:

• https://help.github.com/articles/changing-the-base-branch-of-a-pull-request/
• https://github.com/blog/2224-change-the-base-branch-of-a-pull-request

However it is not possible to change the base branch to point to a different fork of the repo; it can only be changed to another branch within the same fork which the base branch currently points to.

Very fast reply from GitHub:

Hi Adam,

You are correct that it's not currently possible.

This does sound like it could be pretty useful so I've added your suggestion to our internal Feature Request List.

I can't promise that we will implement this feature now or in the future, but your feedback has definitely been noted and is super appreciated.

Please feel free to let us know if there is anything else we can help with!

Cheers,
John

👍 For this feature. Has been one of my pain-points when using a forking rather than branching model.
