 <p>I think actually the answer for what you're trying to do is a 'git clone' of your github repository - the command for that is given to you on github above latest commits when you open that repository. Get your boss to run clone on his machine, then build/whatever in the usual way.</p> <p>Github pull requests are just a notification that you've changed something to get someone else on github (perhaps the project you initially forked, perhaps one that has forked you) to do a pull and review/merge/whatever.</p>
