current project's "pull request" allowance

dcabale opened this issue · 2 comments

Hello,
Although not familiar with GitHub "pull requests", it seems the current GitHub project does not give me the opportunity to create my own branch from the project's main branch

just as the GitHub documentation on "Creating the pull request" describes.
-> Would you be able to adjust /explain?
Thanks in advance

Issue sorted out..
Though not precised by the GitHub documentation on "Creating the pull request", here are the necessary prerequisites for being able to initiate a "pull request":

  1. create a GitHub private "Fork" of the current project, for which a pull request is intended.

  2. check-out this private "Fork" to your PC (local copy of that fork)

  3. do your changes in your local copy
  4. check-in your changes to your GitHub private "Fork".
    Note that while checking-in to GitHub, you can be annoyed by authentication failure. To get rid of this, read here -> https://ginnyfahs.medium.com/github-error-authentication-failed-from-command-line-3a545bfd0ca8
  5. now you can follow the GitHub documentation on "Creating the pull request"

oui c'est pénible :) il faut faire un fork et soumettre la modif :)
