Creating a Pull Request on GitHub

  1. Navigate to the Repository:

    • Visit the repository on GitHub where you've made changes that you want to merge.

  2. Switch to the Branch:

    • If the changes are in a specific branch, ensure you're on that branch.

  3. Click on "New Pull Request":

    • On the repository page, click on the "Pull Requests" tab.

  4. Compare Changes:

    • Click the "New pull request" button. GitHub will automatically detect the base and compare branches. Ensure the changes you want to merge are displayed correctly.

  5. Add Title and Description:

    • Provide a title and description that clearly explains the purpose of the Pull Request. Describe the changes and why they are being made.

  6. Review Changes:

    • Review the changes tab to ensure all modifications you expect are included.

  7. Assign Reviewers (If Required):

    • Assign specific reviewers for your Pull Request, if necessary. Reviewers will be notified to assess your changes.

  8. Labels, Milestones, and Projects (Optional):

    • Apply labels, associate milestones, or link the PR to a project board if your repository uses these features.

  9. Create the Pull Request:
