VS Code, git and c5

Permalink
I've never gitted before, but have just installed it to use within Visual Studio Code (VS Code). I've managed to clone the c5 git develop branch within VS Code, and made some changes to the local copy thus created.

My question is: how do I create a pull request for the changes from within VS Code? I've tried the 'push' option, which asks for my git login details but then dies with a 403.

Are you trying to 'save' your changes or do you want to actually contribute code to the c5 core?

Thanks for the reply. The latter.

I may be getting closer now. I gather I shouldn't have cloned the official repo directly, but first made a fork of it. I've done that now, and cloned the fork to my local machine within VS Code.

I gather I now create a branch, make code changes to that, commit them to my github fork, and then create a pull request against the official repo. Is that right?

I don't know how to do those things with VS Code yet, but I think I'm getting closer.
