What is a pull request?

Pull requests helps you to let the maintainer of the project know the changes you want to make to their project. Once a pull request (PR) is opened the project owner or the maintainers can review the changes and can merge them to their project or close the pr.

How to Create a pull request?

Here we are going to create a (pull request) pr with changes in the file.

• Fork the repository to your GitHub account by clicking on the fork button in the upper right corner of the page.

• Now there are two ways for making changes to the file

  Clone the project to your local environment and edit the file (recommended):

  FOR THIS YOU NEED GIT INSTALLED IN YOUR LOCAL COMPUTER

  • First of all click on the fork, top upper right button.
  • Click on "Clone or download" button in your forked repositories page.
  • Copy the web url.
  • Run git clone CopiedWeburl in the terminal of your local computer. After cloning is done move inside the cloned folder.
  • Go to that folder.
  • Type your name, email and write into the file and save it.
  • In the terminal run

    git add .
    git commit -m "Your Commit message"
    git push origin master
    

  • Now return to the forked repository in GitHub in your browser and click on "New pull request" Button.
  • Type unique_title_name as the title of the pr and your name and email in the description box.
