To send a pull request on GitHub, follow these steps:

1. **Fork the Repository**: If you haven't done so already, fork the repository you want to contribute to. Forking creates a personal copy of the repository under your GitHub account.

2. **Clone the Forked Repository**: Clone the forked repository to your local machine using the `git clone` command. This creates a local copy of the repository on your computer.

3. **Create a Branch**: Create a new branch for your changes. Use a descriptive name that reflects the purpose of your contribution. For example, you can use `git branch my-contribution` to create a new branch called "my-contribution," and then switch to it using `git checkout my-contribution`.

4. **Make Changes**: Make the desired changes to the codebase using your preferred text editor or IDE. Add new files, modify existing ones, or fix bugs as needed.

5. **Stage and Commit Changes**: Use `git add` to stage the changes you want to include in your commit. For example, `git add file1.txt` stages "file1.txt" for commit. Use `git commit-m "Commit message"` to create a commit with a descriptive message explaining the changes.

6. **Push Changes to Your Fork**: Push your local branch with the committed changes to your forked repository on GitHub using `git push origin branch-name`. Replace `branch-name` with the name of your branch.

7. **Open a Pull Request**: Go to the original repository's page on GitHub. GitHub should detect that you have pushed a new branch and offer to create a pull request. Alternatively, you can navigate to the "Pull requests" tab of the original repository and click on the "New pull request" button. Select your branch from the base repository and the branch you want to merge into in the head repository.

8. **Review and Submit**: Review the changes that will be included in the pull request. Provide a clear and descriptive title and description that explains the purpose and scope of your changes. If necessary, you can add more information or additional context in the comment section. Once you are satisfied, click on the "Create pull request" button to submit your pull request.

Your pull request is now submitted to the original repository. The repository maintainers will review your changes, provide feedback, and discuss any necessary modifications or improvements. You can continue the discussion and make further commits to your branch in response to the feedback received.

Remember to follow any contribution guidelines or processes established by the repository you're contributing to, as they may have specific requirements for submitting pull requests.
