A pull request (PR) is used to contribute code from a [[fork|forked]] repo to the parent repo.
It's customary to open an [[issue]] in GitHub before submitting a pull request.
- On GitHub.com, navigate to your forked repo.
- The first card under the **Code** tab should show that your branch is 1 or more commits ahead of the parent repo. Click the blue text link or the **Contribute** split button.
- Click the green **New Pull Request** button.
- Provide a meaningful title and helpful description.
* Mention anyone who should be alerted (`@github-username`)
* Include the issue number (`fixes #212`). Including the issue number will automatically close that issue once the PR is accepted.
