There are 5 steps in the GUI

There are 5 steps in the GUI.

Step 1

You should see something that indicates your fork is behind the original repository.

Click Sync fork.

Step 2

Click Contribute, then Open pull request.

Step 3

GitHub will show the changes between the two repositories.

Check that:

• base repository is your fork
• base is master
• head repository is the original repository
• compare is master

You should see Able to merge.

Click Create pull request.

Step 4

GitHub will create the pull request.

You should see No conflicts with base branch.

Click Merge pull request.

Step 5

I forgot to get a screenshot for this step.

Click Confirm merge.

Your fork should now contain the latest changes from the original repository.
