4. Create a new branch to work on. Branch from the master branch. It is recommended that you make a new branch for every new feature you work on and work from there. You can use "git checkout -b name of new brach" shorthand to create a new brach and switch to it .

5. Push your branch to your fork Github, i.e the remote origin.

6. From your fork open a pull request in the correct branch. Target the project's master branch.
