Github has a simple web interface that makes it very easy to propose a simple change to code. You do not need to install any software or do anything beside register for a git hub account.

These suggestions apply to forks of both joomla-cms and joomla-platform, although the screenshots are for joomla-cms.

Identify a change you want to make.

Find the file you want to modify on Github

Click Edit to open the file

Make your change

Scroll down and click the Propose file change button (add a note if you want).

Fill in any additional information in the pull request including references to an existing issue or PR.

NOTE: For pull requests for joomla-cms, the 'base branch' on the left must be set to staging (not master).

NOTE: Joomla Code has now been deprecated. You do NOT need a JoomlaCode link in your pull request anymore.

Click Send pull request.
