> You included setting up your local repo from the fork in the Github list but it's implied in the 2nd list I didn't read your statement carefully enough when I replied earlier. For the second list, you would only have to clone the repository and make your modifications locally. You wouldn't push your changes up to a remote repository; you would only send email messages with the commit message information and the diff. This means you wouldn't have to go through the step of forking the repository and setting up the new remote before pushing the changes and going ball to the UI to open a pull request (though setting up the new remote isn't required if you fork the repository first and then clone from the fork--though that would make keeping your local copy of the repertory up to date more difficult).
