Preparing your working copy

1. Create a fork of the repository on github. It would look something like YOUR_USER_NAME/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY_NAME.
2. Create a repository and a working copy on your local drive by git clone YOUR_FORK_URL.
3. Add the repository you forked from as remote by git remote add NAME_YOU_CHOOSE_FOR_REMOTE_REPOSITORY ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY_URL.

Creating a Pull Request

1. Get the most recent information on the original repository by git pull NAME_YOU_CHOOSE_FOR_REMOTE_REPOSITORY NAME_OF_BRANCH_YOU_WANT_TO_BRANCH_FROM
2. Create a branch you want to work on by git checkout -b NAME_FOR_BRANCH NAME_YOU_CHOOSE_FOR_REMOTE_REPOSITORY/NAME_OF_BRANCH_YOU_WANT_TO_BRANCH_FROM
3. Change whatever you want to in your local drive.
4. Add a new change you want to track in the new commit by git add FILE(s)_YOU_CHANGED
5. Create a new commit by git commit
6. Push the branch to the fork you created by git push origin NAME_FOR_BRANCH. Keep in mind that origin is the name given to the repository you cloned from. It should be YOUR_USER_NAME/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY_NAME if you followed this manual.
