- GitHub: in your repository, click on
new pull request
- GitHub: make sure the base repository is the Malika's original one and the head fork is yours, both set on their main branch (these repositories should only have one branch anyway; historically called 'master' (as in the screenshots) and now 'main'. Branches are diverging versions of a file within a repository - we will not cover this concept today). Check that your requested merge does not create any conflict. If all is good, click on
Create pull request
- GitHub: write an informative message, explaining your changes to your collaborator, the author of the original repository. Click on
Create pull request
- GitHub: check to see your collaborator's response to your request and check the original repository to see your merged changes. Most likely it will be a thumbs up! But your collaborator might also request a correction if they spot an error. If this session is live: go see the instructor and ask them to watch while they merge your pull request.
