The process of working with GitHub?

Question

GitHub

Explain step by step how the process of making changes to someone's existing repository is done.
The story is probably banal, with which I think a lot of people start using the git.
I found an interesting project on GitHub that seemed very good and useful.
I found spelling errors in the Readme.md file.
What should be my actions in detail on the points in order to propose corrections.

Should the project be forked at the beginning by clicking on the "Fork" button, or can the files be edited on the fly?

Answer 1

GitHub has pretty good documentation.
in short: fork->changes->pull-request.
