Click the “New pull Request” button at the top.

Click the green button “Create pull request”. Give a succinct and informative title, in the comment field give a short explanation of the changes and click the green button “Create pull request” again.

#### Pulling others’ changes
Before you make further changes to the repository, you should check that your version is up to date relative to FOSSASIA’s version.

Go into the directory for the project and type:

This will pull down and merge all of the changes that have been made in the original FOSSASIA repository.

Now push them back to your github repository.
