Hi , I have a question before making a pull request on the github repository(opencv). I have forked the repository and cloned it to my computer. I have already read the instructions on making a pull request link, However i am afraid that i am not fully understanding it.

last time i made a pull request about typo, i pushed it to the master branch directly, thus, i had to follow the instructions to rebase my commits.

From now on, i would like to push it to the upstream/3.4 branch directly so i don`t have to rebase my commits again. If i want to do in such a way, is it then : git add filename git commit -m "commit msg" git push origin upstream/3.4

Thanks for watching

the git push in the middle -- redundant ?

also: git push origin IssueXYZK (since you're not allowed to push to upstream)

git pull upstream get data on local computer. I make git push to get my github repo even with master (or 3.4)
