This is more of a git question, but since I found many possible solutions online I am wondering if there is a preferred way to do this in the Julia package ecosystem.
Consider a git repo for a package, for which I want to submit multiple PRs (bug fixes, new features, etc) simultaneously (in practice, simultaneity happens because merging PRs takes time).
So I create a new branch from `master`, named `pr1`, write the code, and submit a pull request. Now for the second PR `pr2`, should I branch from `master` or `pr1`, as in
```julia
master -> pr1 -> pr2
```
? Or branch parallel, eg
```julia
master --+--> pr1
|
+--> pr2
```
If I branch from `master`, but merging takes time and I want to use the fixes myself locally in the meantime, what’s the best way to do it? Should I create a third local branch, and merge `pr1` and `pr2` into it?

I’d usually say to do two separate branches each starting from master, especially if the changes are mostly independent.
A local branch with both changes cherry-picked or merged sounds good for using it locally - you could also have the changes applied as diffs to your local copy without necessarily committing them. Would just need to remember to check back out a proper branch or release when everything gets incorporated upstream.

I always create lots of `deploy/pr1_pr2_pr5`-like branches for specific functions/fixes I want to use.
