    To add files changes for commit, use the following command.

    git add .

    then, make a local commit by

    git commit

    once you make your local commit, you can then push it to your remote GitHub fork.

    git push

    To make your source code pulled by original fork, you have to send a pull request to the project owner.

    1. Go to the web page of your forked project on GitHub.
    2. Hit the pull request button on the top right of page
    3. Select the commits that you want to submit by change commits button.
    4. Write some description of your changes, comments, or etc.
    5. Send pull request and wait for the owner reply.
