Determining why github says, "Closed without fraud,"

I sometimes pull in requests for an upward repo. Someone applies my pr to the master and closes it. Then gitub says: "Closed without blinking." Why?

What I want to find out is that, if any, is editing the code that I created on the branch, I created pr from this, which did not join (apply or merge) into the repo server branch. I don’t want to do a “manual check” and instead I want one or more cli git commands that will show me what exactly these code changes are.

This just happened to me on GitHub, and I found another reason besides what @twalberg mentioned in the comments:

  • They could create a patch from your forked repository and apply it. This is using the format-patch command:

    $ git format-patch branch --stdout> file.patch

  • (stated in @twalberg comments) They could use the cherry pick, which applies the changes in a single commit.

These actions make sense for small changes when merging with a branch (if the patch is in a separate branch on a forked repository), or a reboot is not needed.
