About issues and pull requests
You can use issues to track ideas, bugs, tasks, and other information that's important to your project. You can create an issue in your project's repository with GitHub Desktop. For more information about issues, see About issues.
After you create a branch and make changes to files in a project, you can create a pull request. With a pull request, you can propose, discuss, and iterate on changes before you merge the changes into the project. You can create a pull request in your project's repository with GitHub Desktop. For more information about pull requests, see Pull requests.

- Save and commit any changes on your local branch. For more information, see Committing and reviewing changes to your project in GitHub Desktop.
- Push your local commits to the remote repository. For more information, see Pushing changes to GitHub from GitHub Desktop.
