The "free" account on github at least doesn't allow, when one has made a PR that had been merged, to sync the branch: the commits get in the way.
I found this solution (browsing) and it seems to work: - Once a PR has been merged (and I have done nothing more on my branch), I invoke locally (unix like syntax): git reset --hard HEAD~1 # of course, could be ~n depending on #commits then: git push origin HEAD --force to update remote. I am then able to sync and to pull on the branch locally to restart: git pull This avoids multiplying branches.
