**Context** I receive a lot of pull requests from Transifex, once I change the settings. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/transifex/original/2X/4/47d944d597ad895058f94492dd0878a1ed25cdda.png) Many of the create a pull request for a file which is already there with the same content. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/transifex/original/2X/c/cb7af69fe93cbface864838a41f9ec794c120ff6.png) You can see them [here](https://github.com/niccokunzmann/coloring-book/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+Translate+in%3Atitle), the red ones. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/transifex/original/2X/d/d7cb5a014a133fda0b96e7f10fedfb3276305f7f.png) **Problem** I do not want to review useless pull requests. **Solution** - Do not open empty pull requests by default - Allow an opt-out in the settings. - If you allow an option to remove empty pull requests and you create an empty pull request, please inform the reviewer about that option in the pull request description. ---

Hello @niccokunzmann, Thank you for contacting with Transifex support. According to your case, could you please share with us more information so as to understand better your case. What changes did you make and triggered these empty pull requests? I tried to change a YAML config file of a project of mine but I didn’t get any empty pull request. Thank you in advance. ---

When no files are changed, `git commit` fails. In this case, the next command for pushing the branch should not execute. ---

Hello! Is there any solutions to this problem? I have the same issue, i.e. every time I trigger manual update to Bitbucket, Pull Requests are opened for all of my translations files, even though there are no changes in them. I also have language mapping in my settings. ---
