@Meakk Thank you for the update. I’d be happy to take over and finalize the issue to ensure its successful completion. I will take some time to review PR #1448 thoroughly, and if I have any questions or need clarification, I’ll leave comments and discuss them with you directly in the PR.

I attempted two approaches to contribute to the pull request #1448

First Approach

git clone [email protected]:nabielkandiel/f3d.git pr-1448
cd pr-1448
git checkout feature/1187-exr-from-memory
vim testing/data/DATA_LICENSES.md
git add testing/data/DATA_LICENSES.md
git commit -S -m "add the links for small.usdz dataset license"
git push origin feature/1187-exr-from-memory

However, I encountered a permissions error

ERROR: Permission to nabielkandiel/f3d.git denied to gapry.

Second Approach

git clone [email protected]:f3d-app/f3d.git 
cd f3d
git remote add nabielkandiel-pr-1448 https://github.com/nabielkandiel/f3d.git
git fetch nabielkandiel-pr-1448 feature/1187-exr-from-memory
git checkout -b pr-1448 nabielkandiel-pr-1448/feature/1187-exr-from-memory
vim testing/data/DATA_LICENSES.md
git add testing/data/DATA_LICENSES.md
git commit -S -m "add the links for small.usdz dataset license"
git push origin pr-1448

While this approach allowed me to create a new branch (pr-1448) on my fork, I cannot push changes directly to the original pull request #1448

Question

How can I contribute my changes to the original pull request? Thanks

Ref

• Allowing changes to a pull request branch created from a fork

[mwestphal]

How can I contribute my changes to the original pull request? Thanks

The original branch is not in our (the maintainers) control, so the second approach is indeed correct. Once you have created a new PR with the code, I'll close the original PR and development will continue in your branch.

@mwestphal I've created the new PR: #1733
