It is possible to create simple pull requests (PR) using GitHubs web interface without setting up a local Git repository.

Requirements
Only a web browser.
Use Cases
You want to fix a typo, upload a translation, ...
Downside
To update your fork, you have to delete it (if there are no open PRs) and fork it again.

For more complex cases see Setup for Pull Requests.

Procedure

  1. Create a Github account or log in and use the excellent GitHub Help in the followin steps.
  2. Fork the desired Gnucash or finance-quote repository.
  3. Create a new branch in your fork.
  4. Apply your changes in this branch.
  5. Create a PR.
  6. Wait for comments and apply potential change requests by the core developers.
  7. After the PR was merged (or closed for other reasons), you can remove the branch.
