Finally, push the changes to your own git

And that's it!

All you need to do now is actually create the pull request. There are two ways to do this.
The easy way, if you're using Github is to simply click the green button at the top of your own copy of the repository, enter a description of the changes, and click 'create pull request'. The
main repository, themes, and addons all have their main branch at Github, so this method can be used most of the time.
Most people can stop here.
Some projects in the extended RedMatrix ecosphere have no Github presence, to pull request these is a bit different - you'll have to create your pull request manually. Fortunately, this isn't
much harder.
[code]git request-pull -p <start> <url>[/code]
Start is the name of a commit to start at. This must exist upstream. Normally, you just want master.
URL is the URL of [i]your[/i] repo.
One can also specify <end>. This defaults to HEAD.
Example:
[code]
git request-pull master https://example.com/project
[/code]
And simply send the output to the project maintainer.
