### Submitting a Pull Request (PR)
Search GitHub for an open or closed PR that relates to your submission. You
don't want to duplicate effort. Fork the project, make your changes in **a new
git branch** and commit your changes with a descriptive commit message. Then
push your branch to GitHub and send a PR to `mkdocs-material:master`. If we
suggest changes, make the required updates, rebase your branch and push
the changes to your GitHub repository, which will automatiaclly update your PR.

go ahead.
1. **Development**: Fork the project, set up the [development environment][4],
make your changes in a separate git branch and add descriptive messages to
your commits.
2. **Build**: Before submitting a pull requests, build the theme. This is a
mandatory requirement for your PR to get accepted, as the theme should at
all times be installable through GitHub.
3. **Pull Request**: After building the theme, commit the compiled output, push
your branch to GitHub and send a PR to `mkdocs-material:master`. If we
suggest changes, make the required updates, rebase your branch and push the
changes to your GitHub repository, which will automatically update your PR.
After your PR is merged, you can safely delete your branch and pull the changes
from the main (upstream) repository.
