How to fix the code of someone else's repository?

Question

GitHub

If I need to fix some kind of bug, and they gave a link to the repository, then I will download it and fix it myself, but how can I transfer it to someone else's repository, or how is it done in general?

Answer 1

create your fork -> create a new branch in your fork -> fix a bug in the new branch -> create a pull request from your fork branch to the main branch of the original repository. And usually in more or less popular repositories there is a list of requirements / recommendations that you need to follow if you want your code to be merged

Answer 2

Google git flow.
