Do this step wise,
step 1:- Check for Local Changes
If no changes, then modify a file.

Step 2:- Commit & Push Changes:

Step 3:- Refresh GitHub & Try Again:
Go to the pull request page and ensure:
Base repository: firstcontributions/first-contributions
Base branch: main
Head repository: armycodes/first-contributions
Compare branch: firstgit

First, fork this repository to your profile. Make the necessary changes, commit and push them, and then create a pull request.

@armycodes, I've checked your branch. https://github.com/armycodes/first-contributions/tree/firstgit

I don't see any commits from you.

Either you haven't committed any changes or you haven't pushed it to this branch.

Hi,

Steps to Create a Pull Request (PR) on GitHub*
Fork the Repository (if you don't have write access):

If you're contributing to a repository where you don't have write access, you need to fork the repository first.

Go to the repository on GitHub and click the "Fork" button at the top-right corner. This creates a copy of the repository under your GitHub account.

Clone the Repository:

Clone the repository to your local machine using the following command:

bash
Copy
git clone https://github.com/your-username/repository-name.git
Replace your-username with your GitHub username and repository-name with the name of the repository.

Create a New Branch:

Always create a new branch for your changes. This keeps your work isolated from the main branch.

bash
Copy
git checkout -b your-branch-name
Replace your-branch-name with a descriptive name for your branch.

Make Changes and Commit:

Make the necessary changes to the code.

Stage your changes:

bash
Copy
git add .
Commit your changes with a meaningful message:

bash
Copy
git commit -m "Your commit message"
Push Your Changes to GitHub:

Push your branch to GitHub:

bash
Copy
git push origin your-branch-name
Create a Pull Request:

Go to the repository on GitHub.

You should see a banner at the top of the repository page prompting you to create a pull request for the branch you just pushed. Click "Compare & pull request".

If you don't see the banner:

Go to the "Pull requests" tab.

Click "New pull request".

Select your branch (your-branch-name) as the compare branch and the target branch (usually main or master) as the base branch.

Add a title and description for your pull request.

Click "Create pull request".

Why You Might Not Be Able to Create a Pull Request
If you're unable to create a pull request, here are some common reasons and solutions:

No Changes to Compare:

If there are no differences between your branch and the target branch, GitHub won't allow you to create a pull request.

Solution: Ensure you've made changes and pushed them to your branch.

Branch Conflicts:

If your branch has conflicts with the target branch, GitHub may block the PR creation.

Solution: Resolve conflicts by merging the target branch into your branch locally:

bash
Copy
git checkout your-branch-name
git pull origin main
Resolve any conflicts, commit the changes, and push again.

No Write Access to the Repository:

If you don't have write access to the repository, you need to fork the repository first and create a PR from your fork.

Solution: Fork the repository, push your changes to your fork, and create a PR from there.

Protected Branches:

If the target branch (e.g., main) is protected, you may not be able to create a PR directly.

Solution: Check with the repository maintainers to ensure you have the necessary permissions.

GitHub UI Issues:

Sometimes, GitHub's UI might not show the "Create pull request" button due to a glitch.

Solution: Refresh the page or try creating the PR from a different browser or device.

Incorrect Branch:

If you're trying to create a PR from the wrong branch, GitHub won't allow it.

Solution: Double-check that you're selecting the correct branch for both the compare and base branches.

Hello, I just started to have the same problem as you, so I checked my branch statuses and they are all fine, so I'm considering if it's because my branch name is exactly the same as this repository name and that's why I can't request a merge. I tried to change the branch name again and make a change commit. Apparently I was able to do the merge request successfully. So, you can try changing the branch name (not to match the repository name)
