5. Navigate to the directory where you want to store the repository.

6. Use the git clone command to clone your forked repository.

Adding Code

7. Create a new folder within the cloned repository to organize your code.

8. Add your code or files to the newly created folder.

9. Use the git add command to stage the changes.

10. Commit your changes with a descriptive message.

Pushing Changes to the Repository

11. Push your changes to your forked repository on GitHub.

Creating a Pull Request

12. Navigate to your forked repository on GitHub.

13. Click the "New Pull Request" button.

14. Compare the changes and, if everything looks good, click "Create Pull Request."
