Getting permission to create Pull Requests on Bitbucket

I've made a couple of changes to the code in Bitbucket (and also raised a couple of related Issues), but don't have the required permissions to create Pull Requests on the easy-ui-4 repository. What's the process for getting those permissions?

You fork the beyonwiz/easy-ui-4 repo to get your own copy, twundke/easy-ui-4 (seems you have done this already).

You then clone your own repo to your local machine, create a branch and make changes on that branch (seems you have done this already).

Then you push the branch with the changes back to Bitbucket twundke/easy-ui-4 repo (seems you have done this already).

Then you browse to the twundke/easy-ui-4 repo on Bitbucket and issue a pull request against beyonwiz/easy-ui-4 - there should be no need for any special permissions.

So, in summary you are on the right track, you just need to work your way through the Bitbucket user interface when creating pull-requests. @adoxa may be able to give you a hand when it comes to the details (I can't really help because I don't issue pull-request, instead I can make commits and push them.)

Ahh, having very rarely had to use pull requests, it would seem that I was trying to start the pull request from the beyonwiz-owned repository, not my fork. It just feels backwards doing it that way, but I guess it ultimately makes sense. Thanks for the help Peter.

The pull request is a request to the owner of the upstream repository to pull (incorporate) changes you've made in your fork.
