I will like to perform a pull and merge request but also I would like to exclude some files from this pull request.

Example: a.py  b.py c.py

I would like to peform a pull request and merge except b.py file.

What is the easiest way to accomplish this?

Try pulling all the files and reverse the files to a specific commit. Then push your changes if you want. You can also stack your changes, pull and then apply your stack

Commit a.py and c.py, git stash the rest, perform the request, then git stash pop to restore your b.py

Make two branches from where you are right now, for example my-pull-request and other-change.

Commit a.py and c.py to my-pull-request, and b.py to other-change. Push the my-pull-request branch to Github, and create the pull request.
