The typical steps are:
- fork
- branch
- edit
- PR
- if necessary, review/edit until ready
- merge
This post is a pretty great walk through - it’s written for making PRs against Julia itself, so not all of it is relevant, but all of the git steps are the same regardless of what repository you’re contributing to.
Good luck, and thanks for putting in the effort to make our community better! Please don’t hesitate to ask more questions if you get stuck - it’s worth our time (and it just feels good) to help newcomers contribute

Thanks for the advice! We had actually moved the PR tutorial to a conversation via DM in order to avoid spamming this thread. As a result, @adannenberg made their very first open source contribution

On the contrary, that’s how we all start! A small PR to a documentation, then a bugfix here and there, and soon you’re in way over your head maintaining too many packages and having a blast at the next JuliaCon
