How do I close a GitHub issue without making a commit?

Tags:

git

github

I thought there would be a simple way to do this, but I'm really having a hard time finding any answers in any search I make. I have some issues that I need to close because we decided that it is not really an issue, so I need to close it. I already know how to close an issue with commit message, but I can't find any other way to do this.

How do you close a pull request problem?

To unlink an issue that you linked using a keyword, you must edit the pull request description to remove the keyword. You can also use closing keywords in a commit message.

How do you reference an issue in a commit?

You just need to include #xxx in your commit message to reference an issue without closing it. With the new GitHub issues 2.0, you can use these synonyms to reference an issue and close it (in your commit message).

What is PR link in GitHub?

Pull requests let you tell others about changes you've pushed to a branch in a repository on GitHub. Once a pull request is opened, you can discuss and review the potential changes with collaborators and add follow-up commits before your changes are merged into the base branch.

You can close an issue through the GitHub web interface when you're viewing the issue. The "Close Issue" button is to the left of the "comment" button under the comment box. I believe you need to be a collaborator on a repo to close an issue.
