I am not entirely sure, but this can be one approach to try. Maybe you can first create a new branch for specific changes using 'git checkout' and then 'cherry-pick' the commits you want to include in your new pull request. Once resolved conflicts, then commit the changes and push the new branch. Finally, create a new pull request! It allows us to separate specific changes from the original pull request and create a more focused pull request without affecting the existing one. |

That would work if changes have been made with granular commits at first. But we know that when digging, this is not always possible. Especially if the need to split the PR comes during the review. |

Sometimes, when you start working on a subject, you find other things that can be quickly fixed. So it's easy to do the change directly in your working branch. But you end with a bulk of unrelated change and the PR is bloated.
What I would like, it to be able to extract some changes from a PR, to create a new PR. With or without reverting this changes from the original PR.
Using git cli, it's possible to create a new branch and checkout each file at the state they are in the other branch. But that's not very convenient.
