title:API changes for changing the base branch on Pull Requests

author_name:scottjg

GitHub recently added the ability to[change the base branch][blog post] on a Pull Request after it's created. Now we're updating the Pull Request API to enable the new functionality.

For example:

The Pull Request base will be updated to point to the master branch.

You can learn more about the new responses and endpoints in the updated[Pull Request][pulls] documentation.

If you have any questions or feedback, please[let us know][contact]!
