If the target repository is configured to support dependent pull requests, it's possible to do this with the backport command by supplying the appropriate pr/X
branch.
The pull request will be created from a branch in a shared fork of the target repository. On GitHub, this repository is owned by the openjdk-bots organization. The first time you issue the /backport command for a specific target repository, you will receive an invitation to collaborate in the fork repository. This invitation needs to be accepted to be able to further update the backport pull request with more changes.
Examples
- /backport jdk16u
- /backport jfx jfx14
- /backport jdk17u-dev pr/4711
