Hello Anurag,
nice to hear from you! >> does anybody know how to disable PRs on FreeType's github mirror? > > In GitHub repository settings under moderation options, you should > see "Interaction limits". > > You can enable "Limit to repository collaborators" for 6 months. > > This should prevent people from creating PRs. Thanks, I did that now. Unfortunately, it doesn't give any hint to a contributor why the 'create pull request' button is just greyed out... Looking around in the internet it seems that there isn't a better option for github, sigh. Werner
