Hello Julia Users,

I wrote some code that I would like to submit via pull request to a Julia 
package. The thing is, I am new to this and do not understand the pull 
request process.

What I have done:

   - used Pkg.add to obtain a local version of said package
   - ran `git branch mybranch` to create a local git branch 
   - created my code additions and used `git add` to include them. Ran `git 
   commit -m`

I am confused over how to continue. The instructions on git for issuing a 
pull request require that I use their UI interface, but my local branch is 
not going to show up when I select "new pull request" because it is, well, 
local to my machine. Do I need to fork the repository first? When I try 
creating a branch through the UI I do not get an option to create one like 
they indicate in the tutorial 
<https://help.github.com/articles/creating-and-deleting-branches-within-your-repository/#creating-a-branch>,
 
perhaps because I am not a repo owner.

Thank you.
