[git] How to do a GitHub pull request

The Simplest GitHub Pull Request is from the web interface without using git.

  1. Register a GitHub account, login then go to the page in the repository you want to change.
  2. Click the pencil icon,

    search for text near the location, make any edits you want then preview them to confirm. Give the proposed change a description up to 50 characters and optionally an extended description then click the Propose file Change button.

  3. If you're reading this you won't have write access to the repository (project folders) so GitHub will create a copy of the repository (actually a branch) in your account. Click the Create pull request button.

  4. Give the Pull Request a description and add any comments then click Create pull request button.
