## Proposing a Pull Request (PR)
1. Once the edits have been committed, you will be prompted to create a pull request on your fork's GitHub Page.

2. By default, all pull requests should be against the freeCodeCamp main repo, `master` branch.
Make sure that your Base Fork is set to freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp when raising a Pull Request.

3. Submit the pull request from your branch to freeCodeCamp's `master` branch.
4. In the body of your PR include a more detailed summary of the changes you made and why.
- You will be presented with a pull request template. This is a checklist that you should have followed before opening the pull request.
- Fill in the details as they seem fit you. This information will be reviewed and decide whether or not, your pull request is going to be accepted.
- If the PR is meant to fix an existing bug/issue then, at the end of
your PR's description, append the keyword `closes` and #xxxx (where xxxx
is the issue number). Example: `closes #1337`. This tells GitHub to
automatically close the existing issue, if the PR is accepted and merged.
5. Indicate if you have tested on a local copy of the site or not.
This is very important when you are making changes that are not copy editing markdown files. For example, changes to CSS or JavaScript code, etc.
After you've committed your changes, check here for [how to open a Pull Request](/docs/how-to-open-a-pull-request.md).
