Body

I have a PR with a couple of changes in it. But any new unrelated changes will get rolled in to the existing PR. I'd like to be able stop merging new commits, while keeping the original PR open. At present any commit to a fork with a PR open on it will be added to the existing PR. Is it doable?

Hi, you can create a new branch so that you can continue to make new changes and not have them show up on the PR.

You can create a new branch from the branch of PR.

So you can continue and after merged, you choose merge or not the continuation.

Yes it seems that's the only safe way. Thanks all.
