Github push changes that do not affect current repo status

I am working on a repo that sees a lot of action on a daily basis. What I am working on will require me to spend a few weeks on. Also the changes I'm introducing will in no way interfere with what's already in the repo - this will be a whole separate folder on the base level. I've created a branch and worked on my stuff in that branch.

Is there any way for me to submit my work without having to pull and merge hundreds of other commits that will happen from other people working on the repo, since my changes will have nothing to do with theirs?

It depends on the repository's community workflow and maintainers. Some may ask that you rebase onto or merge with a more recent commit, some may handle it themselves, etc. But if you submit the pull request, this conversation should take place anyways, along with any other necessary modifications.

So, to answer your question: you can always submit a pull request - it is up to the powers that be whether it is accepted.
