Github user ptgoetz commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/pull/2#issuecomment-165505353 @james-sirota Here's the process: 1. Add the official Apache repo as a remote in your local clone (one time step): `git remote add apache https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-metron.git` 2. checkout whatever branch you want to merge it into: `git checkout master` 3. Merge the pull request: `git pull g...@github.com:charlesporter/incubator-metron.git master` 4. Push the results to the Apache repo: `git push apache master` A git hook will automatically close the github pull request when the repos get synced. If there is a pull request that you want to close without merging, you can simply ask the person who opened it to close it. If that doesn't work, you can use a commit message to close it. To do that, make a trivial change, like adding a space to README.md, and commit and push the change. In the commit message add the text "this closes #N" where N is the number of the pull request. When the repos sync, the pull request will get closed.
