5. Stage your changes: `git add file-name'
6. Commit your changes with a descriptive message: git commit -m "Your descriptive commit message"
7. Push your changes to the remote repository: git push origin your-branch-name
8. Create a pull request:
   • Go to your repository on GitHub.
   • Click on the "Compare & pull request" button next to your branch.
   • Add a title and description for your pull request(OPTIONAL).
