Document walking through how to create a PR, assuming you already know a little git.

# Creating a Pull Request
This tutorial will walk you through how to request that someone else pulls your changes to their code into their project.
This is called a **pull request**, usually abbreviated to PR.
It is assumed that you are comfortable with using the fundamental git commands (`git add`, `git commit`, etc.) at a command prompt, and that you are familiar with pushing and pulling repositories to and from GitHub.

Around here, perhaps it would be worthwhile to link to a resource that describes how to use the basics of git that would be appropriate for someone completely new to it. We could also support people in real time through Matrix or wherever who are new to it also.

This will make a copy of that repo, and that copy belongs to you.

## Clone your fork of the repo
On your fork of the repo (<_your-github-username_>/PlasmaPy-Tutorials), use the '**Clone or Download**' button to download the repo.

It may be helpful to add an example command for git clone here also.


## Create a new branch in your local repo
This step is not strictly necessary to make a PR, but is highly recommended as part of the git workflow in general, so we shall take the time to go through it here.

The explicit command for creating a branch would likely be helpful here also.
