git request-pull: how to create a (github) pull request on the command line?

Question

I\'ve cloned a project, and pushed a branch with just a renamed readme file to README. I am trying to create a pull-request on the command line, just to try PR from here ins

Even though they are called exactly the same thing, a GitHub pull request and a 'git request-pull' are completely different.

The git request-pull is for generating a summary of pending changes to be sent to a mailing list. It has no integration by default with GitHub.

The GitHub Pull Requests is a fully featured function of GitHub only. It allows for merging and integration of code from a different branch/fork. You can resolve merge conflicts, do code reviews, or add additional comments to a GitHub pull request.

Unfortunately the git command is named similarly to GitHub functionality which makes it sound like they should be doing the same thing.
