# Short and comprehensive guide to creating a Pull Request

This is a handy step-by-step guide you need to follow to create your Pull Request (PR). In this guide, we'll consider using Git and Github.

### 1) Fork the Repository (Repo)

1. Find the project you want to contribute to and *FORK* it on GitHub.
    
2. To create a fork, you get a Fork button, click that
    

### 2) Clone the Repo to your clone machine

1. It is self-explanatory, use `git clone` to clone your forked repo to your local machine.
    

### 3) Create a new branch

1. Quickly create a new branch in your clone, here are two ways to create a new branch:
    
    * `git branch <branch_name>`
        
    * `git checkout -b <branch_name>`
        
    
    Both of them work just fine.
    

### 4) Make changes and Push

1. Make your changes, and commit them.
    
2. Push them to your forked repo on GitHub.
    

### 5) Create a PR

1. On your forked repo, click on "Pull Request" → "New Request".
    
2. Explain your changes in detail and **submit**.
