Github pull request of a branch

I have forked a master from upstream. I have created a branch, made some commits, and now want to issue a pull request. I want to know when my branch is merged by the user, will it get merged to the upstream master, or the user will have an option to create a new branch and merge my branch with it? Btw, I don't have push permission.

Where the Pull Request merges depends on how you create it, when you pick four things:

  • The base fork: Which fork of the repository the PR will be merged into
  • The base branch: Which branch in that repository the PR will be merged into
  • The compare fork: The fork with thew new code
  • The compare branch: The branch containing the new code

So if you configure the base to be upstream_repo:master, yes, when the PR is accepted, it will be merged to master.
