             Github's guide to Pull Requests walks through the process of sending a hypothetical pull request and using
             the various code review and management tools to take the change to completion. This guide can be found here;
             <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests">https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests</a>
+            That article assume that we have direct control of the GitHub repository, but we don't. Instead we need to 
+            pull the Pull Request to our local machine, merge it in and then push it back via the Apache GIT server.
         </p>
+        <p>
+            The infrastructure team is working on Pull Request support on the GitHub servers directly, but it is not
+            available by default yet.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+            Example, for pull request 42, you would need to do the following;
+<pre><code>
+# You need to have a "remote" defined in your git configuration
+# This is only needed once
+git remote add github https://github.com/apache/zest-java.git
+
+# Fetch the commit  
+git fetch github pull/42/head:merge-pr-42
+
+# These next two steps are optional.
+# If you choose to rebase, then the Pull Request is not automatically closed.
+git checkout merge-pr-42
+git rebase develop
+
+# Check out 'develop' branch
+git checkout develop
 
+# Merge the PR
+git merge merge-pr-42
+
+# Remove the PR branch
+git branch -D merge-pr-42
+
+# Push the result
+git push origin develop
+
+</code></pre>
+        </p>
