\ No newline at end of file +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.
