How to reopen a closed PR on Github

README

How to reopen a pull-request from github?

Precodinitions
    You need the rights to reopen pull requests on the repository.
    The pull request hasn't been merged, just closed.
    
    Go to Pull requests add filter `is:closed` choose PR you want to reopen. Select from checkbox and mark as Open.
    

If you changed the branch name or deleted the branch, the reopen pull request button will be disabled so first you need to click the restore branch button in the right section of your commit ( change branch name / delete branch commit) inside your pull request then the reopen button will be enabled

Thanks for this info!

Very helpful.

Thanks

Hi, haha. I changed the visibility of my fork and my pr has closed. Thanks for the tips.

I'm having trouble finding this button. I can't see it in the Conversation tab, nor the base Commit tab, or when I click on the commit corresponding with the branch. Note that my issue is that the branch that this PR's branch is based on was deleted - would this not be covered by this approach?

Edit: I found my answer in https://stackoverflow.com/a/75471397/948622 and added a note for the specific issue I encountered.
