Creating a simple pull request results in 422 Validation error

[shahabhijeet]

I am using octokit.net 0.32.0 nuget pacakge in my .NET Standard 2.0 library
Here is my code

GitHubClient ghClient = new GitHubClient(new ProductHeaderValue("mylibName", "myLibVersion"));
ghClient.Credentials = new Credentials(apiToken);

NewPullRequest newPr = new NewPullRequest("Myfirstpr", "branchNameInMyFork", "master");

GitHubClient.PullRequest.Create(RepoId, newPr);
I get Status: 422 Unprocessable Entity (Validation Error)
X-GitHub-Request-Id: 80AC:9603:39B8FB:45A1F7:5C6CAE6E

GitHubClient.PullRequest.Create("ownerName", "myRepoName", newPr);
I get Status: 422 Unprocessable Entity (Validateion Error)
X-GitHub-Request-Id: CC45:95FF:1535CF:19BA38:5C6CB540

Can you provide me a working example that will allow me to create a Pull Request?
I don't seem to find any examples that will show me how to create a simple pull request.

@shahabhijeet my best guess is that you're not using the right value for the head parameter. If it's coming from a fork, the head parameter needs to be of the format username:branch.

@shiftkey I was able to get more details, now I get this

{"message":"Validation Failed","errors":[{"resource":"PullRequest","field":"base","code":"invalid"}],"documentation_url":"https://developer.github.com/v3/pulls/#create-a-pull-request"}

And so far I have tried the format for base as
organizationName:master
organizationName/repositoryName:master
RepositoryName:master

nothing seems to work.

So what would be good to know is, if I had to create a pull request from my fork against octokit master branch, what are the values I should be using for head and base
is it
Head ==> shahabhijeet:branchName
Base ==> octokit:master or octokit/octokit.net:master or octokit.net:master

@ryangribble is creating a PullRequest from user fork supported?
If yes would be great to get a sample on how to create a PR. Appreciate your help.

Got it working the following worked for me
If I am creating a PR from my fork (shahabhijeet) and branch (bugFix) against octokit.net master branch

NewPullRequest newPr = new NewPullRequest("Myfirstpr", "shahabhijeet:bugFix", "master")

Should this issue be closed as the sample for the docs has been added?

Good catch, thanks!
