You’ve branched off a branch. Unfortunately the original branch is not ready to be merged and you need to promote your branch to a first class citizen, branched off of master.

However, when you raise the pull request for the second branch, you get all the changes from the first! Of course it does - you’ve branched off a branch!

You could wait till the original branch is ready, but alternatively, you can use git rebase to help you.

When working with Puppet, you’ll eventually arrive at a problem: How do you develop, deploy and test changes to your Puppet configuration without pushing those changes to production until you know they are ready.
