Hi,

I have investigated and created a fix for issue [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/43918#issuecomment-420954137](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/43918#issuecomment-420954137)

I am new to ansible dev community.

I’ve created a branch but I am not allowed to push that to origin .

Can you enable me to push my fix into a branch and then create a PR against devel ?

Thanks,  
Tomasz Czajka

The usual approach to proposing a fix on Github for community projects is to fork the repository and then create a Pull Request from your own fork of the repository - it’s not normal practice (at least in my experience) to clone the main repository and then push to a branch in that one.

[https://help.github.com/articles/about-collaborative-development-models/](https://help.github.com/articles/about-collaborative-development-models/) discusses the types of collaboration and I’m fairly sure that Ansible runs with a “fork and pull” model.

Richard.

Thanks Richard,

I was able to push the PR via fork and pull - thanks!
