How to do a pull request on master of other's repo? (New branch was created)

I am trying to contribute to some library. In the contributing docs of that repository were written:

1)clone repository:

I did it git clone URL here 1.

2)Create a branch

Done git checkout -b ...

Then made edits inside files. After this it says these 2 steps:

3)Commit the file to the repo

4) Create a pull request on master In the pull request title, put the title of your changed file - and Submit the pull request

So what should I do dor 3rd and 4th steps? Which commands to type to complete the contribution in this case?

After creating branch, Perform the following commands:

git add .
git commit -m "write your comment here"
git push origin your-branch-name   // which you just created using checkout command

After this you can go to your git repository and raise the Pull Request on master by following these setps:

  1. Go to your git repository in browser.
  2. Click on New Pull Request button.
  3. Enter some text in title textbox.
  4. Click on Create Pull Request button.

Now you have raised the Pull Request and your work is done. Now the other member who has access to merge the PR, will come and Approve your changes and then Merge the pull request.
