# Creating a Pull Request
1. **Ensure the bug/feature was not already reported** by searching on GitHub under Issues. If none exists, create a new
issue so that other contributors can keep track of what you are trying to add/fix and offer suggestions (or let you
know if there is already an effort in progress).
2. **Clone** the forked repo to your machine.
3. **Create** a new branch to contain your work (e.g. `git br fix-issue-11`)
4. **Commit** changes to your own branch.
5. **Push** your work back up to your fork. (e.g. `git push fix-issue-11`)
6. **Submit** a Pull Request against the `main` branch and refer to the issue(s) you are fixing. Try not to pollute your
pull request with unintended changes. Keep it simple and small.
7. **Sign** the Salesforce CLA (you will be prompted to do so when submitting the Pull Request)
> **NOTE**: Be sure to [sync your fork](https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/) before making a pull request.
