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.
