| 53 | +# Creating a Pull Request |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +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). |
| 56 | +3. **Clone** the forked repo to your machine. |
| 57 | +4. **Create** a new branch to contain your work (e.g. `git br fix-issue-11`) |
| 58 | +4. **Commit** changes to your own branch. |
| 59 | +5. **Push** your work back up to your fork. (e.g. `git push fix-issue-11`) |
| 60 | +6. **Submit** a Pull Request against the `dev` 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. |
| 61 | +7. **Sign** the Salesforce CLA (you will be prompted to do so when submitting the Pull Request) |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +> **NOTE**: Be sure to [sync your fork](https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/) before making a pull request. |
