@rubensworks The commit message links to the PR on Miciel's fork, is that okay?

[rubensworks]

Not really, as that approach will link to other unrelated issues/PRs in this repo.

[jitsedesmet]

@rubensworks yes, but not linking to it might make it harder to discover conversation head around a single commit/ PR?

In that case, you could link it by including something like Michiel-VandeVelde/Server.js#7 in the commit message.
Then it won't clash with issues in this repo.
