How to checkout pull request locally and modify & resend, to master
Raw
checkout-pull-request-locally.md

$ git fetch origin

*From github.com:username/repo*

* [new ref] refs/pull/1000/head -> origin/pr/1000

* [new ref] refs/pull/999/head -> origin/pr/999

To check out a particular pull request:

$ git checkout pr/999

Branch pr/999 set up to track remote branch pr/999 from origin.

Switched to a new branch 'pr/999'

Now modify the files from the pull request, then

$ git commit

$ git push -u origin branch

If the above does not work then,

$ git checkout -b newbranch from => 'pr/999'

$ git commit --allow-empty -m "your commit message"

$ git push -u origin newbranch

In this way you can modify someone else pr and send pr to master branch again with the changes.
