Suggest changes with a Github Pull Request

Pretty straight forward, but anyways, here is one way to do it:

Create a new branch (or fork, if it is not your repo)
- Either: On github pages Code tab:
  - Enter a new branch name
  - Pull (or clone) the repo
  - Switch to the new branch in your local repo (git checkout new-branch-name)
- Or: Create the branch in your local git repo (git checkout -b new-branch-name)
  - use -m merge option, if you already have local changes that should go into the new branch
  - use -p patch option, to interactively select local changes to discard or reuse
Make changes, commit, push
On github create a pull request, selecting the new branch (or fork) with the changes
If there is a github issue for that change, you can mention the pull request there with #pull-request-number
If satisfied with the changes, repo owner can merge the pull request on the github page
