title: Pull request without forking?
body: <p>Here are steps of code contribution from the topic "<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4384776/how-do-i-contribute-to-others-code-in-github">How do I contribute to other&#39;s code in GitHub?</a>"</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Fork the project</li>
  <li>Make one or more well commented and clean commits to the repository. You can make a new branch here if you are modifying more than one part or feature.</li>
  <li>Perform a pull request in github's web interface.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Is it possible to make a pull request without forking a repo?</p>
  
  <p>It's quite sad to see more than 20 repos in my account which were forked for some pull requests. They have no activity then and zero stars / followers. Looks like I'm just copying somebody's code for a black day.</p>
