How to create Pull request directly using Jgit [message #1833981]

Hi, I am using JGIT for one of my project . I am able to push the change but not finding any direct way to raise pull request using JGIT directly.
Can you help with the same?

JGit is the Java implementation of git but not a github client.

AFAIK github pull requests can only be created using the github REST API.
Push the commits you want to create a pull request for to your fork of the upstream repository
(or to a branch in the upstream repository if you have write permissions) and then
call the REST API to create the pull request.

You can use org.eclipse.egit.github.core.service.PullRequestService#createPullRequest [1]
of org.eclipse.egit.github.core to create a pull request.

See org.eclipse.egit.github.core.tests.live.PullRequestTest [2] for examples.

Find binaries here [3].
