 If you wish to contribute to SUFST firmware please make it known to one of the maintainers detailed below.
 Only Maintainers are able to push or merge to the master branch, instead contributors work on their own branch, then when you're happy with the changes you've made on your branch, make a merge request [here](https://git.soton.ac.uk/SUFST/sufst-firmware/merge_requests/new#) to merge your branch with the master branch. This allows maintainers to review your changes and manually accept them into master. This process allows the maintainers to know exactly whats on the master branch and keep it under tight control.
 	
+Another method is to edit the file you wish to create modifications for on the git, then request a pull request which allows the a maintainer to accept or deny your modified code, see [here](https://help.github.com/en/articles/editing-files-in-another-users-repository) for details on how to do this. This method is geared towards people who are don't want to go through a seperate branch and request a merge.
