Git pull request for just one file

git github homebrew pull-request

I've made multiple changes to two files in a Git repository (specifically, added two formulae to brew).

I committed the changes individually:

git commit file1
git commit file2

I then did one push to GitHub:

git push [email protected]:myname/homebrew.git

I'd now like to send two pull requests to the upstream repository, one for file1, one for file2. Is this possible?

Put each file on its own branch. You can generate a pull request for each branch, which should do what you want.
