Merging a pull request into multiple branches

git, github

Solution

No, you can't unfortunately: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-merge

When I have that requirement (which is not that often), I usually do it manually in the console. If that is a big burden on your workflow I would suggest a shell-script that could first do all the merges without conflicts and then let you manually fix the others.

Is this a requirement because you have too many concurrent development lines at the same time?

Problem

We have pull requests coming from other forks as well as branches within our own fork that has to go to multiple branches. Is there a way we can merge pull requests to multiple branches in one step?
