Hi Lous,
It sounds like Github CLI makes lots of things easier. I will look into that.

I spent the weekend reading the githubcli documentation link I sent you. You
are right is quite involved and a whole lot of concenpts coming at you
simultaneously.
But I found out the manual is well formatted and written. Once you are on a
reference command/subcommand etc. boing back is easy and picks up where I was.
Made reading and referencing much easier.
I actually found the exact thing you were trying to do as an example. Tried
to find it again this morning, but lost it. It was sometime after I pretty much
read the entire manual and it gave me e a link to examples reference. Simply
choose a command and behold they were all there.
I am going to stick with my github cli, especially since it even offers web
page navigation. For example if I want to examine an issue. It will open
directly to that issue.
Happy coding

Hi Lewis, hi kperry,
Unfortunately, the documentation for the pull request in command line seamed
too much complicated for me.
I finally succeed to perform the pull request with the web client of github.
More precisely, just after clicking on the link to create a new pull request,
when I am on the form to select the base branch (that is the branch toward you
want to send your modifications), my problem again was that I was not able to
select any other branch than. the main branch.
To tackle the problem, below is the procedure that was succesfull:
1. click on the button 'base'..
It will bring the focus on a text field where you have to type the name or the
first letters of the name of the branch you target.
2. Type the name of the branch you want.
3. Then bring the mouse cursor toward the PC cursor. With NVDA it is (numpad 0
+ numpad slash).
4. In order to force the list of available branches to be reachable with the
keyboard, make a double left mouse click with numpad slash.
5. After that, I was able with down and up arrow to browse between available
branche.
And to validate one with enter.
I still have problem with how to handle conflicts within the web client of
github, but for the most part, I am more advanced than before.
Thanks again,

I am no expert in this either. I have just in the past 2 weeks started
collaborating on a repo using github cli .
You can do everything at the command prompt.
There is others much more fluent with github cli than I, but here is
my link for you to read.
https://cli.github.com/
pull request is:
gh pr view 3
gh pr checkout 33
gh pr merge 1
I am still stumbling, so I plan to pick it back up this weekend myself.
Here are some bookmarked resources I currently have bookmarked.

Subject: [program-l] How to make a pull request on github?
Hi,
I am working with a team and am the only blind.
I have to do a pull request from my own branch toward the develop
branch on github.
My team advised me to do that through the web client of github.
But unfortunately, I am lost at the step where I have to choose a base
for the pull request (in other world the branch with whom I have to
merge my own branch).
There is a button to choose the base branch, but when I click on it,
the edit field appearing doesn't seam accessible.
Even the button to compare has the same behavior.
Do you have a solution for that?
Do you have another ways to make pull requests toward github
repositories/branches?
Thank you in advance.
