Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [Docs] Add example of making a PR with git and GitHub web
interface
Some people may not have access to `gh` or may prefer to use `git` and
the GitHub web interface to make a PR. This patch adds an example of
making a PR using this approach.

+Example Pull Request with git
+====================================
+
+Instead of using the GitHub CLI to create a PR, you can push your code to a
+remote branch on your fork and create the PR to upstream using the GitHub web
+interface.
+
+Here is an example of making a PR using git and the GitHub web interface:
+
+First follow the instructions to [fork the repository](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo?tool=webui#forking-a-repository).
+
+Next follow the instructions to [clone your forked repository](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo?tool=webui#cloning-your-forked-repository).
+
+Once you've cloned your forked repository,
+
+::
+
+ # Switch to the forked repo and create a new branch
+ cd llvm-project
+ git switch -c my_change
+
+ # Create your changes
+ $EDITOR file.cpp
+
+ # Don't forget clang-format
+ git clang-format
+
+ # and don't forget running your tests
+ ninja check-llvm
+
+ # Commit, use a good commit message
+ git commit file.cpp
+
+ # Push your changes to your fork branch, be mindful of
+ # your remotes here, if you don't remember what points to your
+ # fork, use git remote -v to see. Usually origin points to your
+ # fork and upstream to llvm/llvm-project
+ git push origin my_change
+
+Now back on the GitHub web interface, navigate to your fork and create a pull
+request from your branch to llvm::main.
+
+::
+
+ # If you get any review comments, come back to the branch and
+ # adjust them.
+ git switch my_change
+ $EDITOR file.cpp
+
+ # Commit your changes
+ git commit file.cpp -m "Code Review adjustments"
+
+ # Push your changes to your fork branch, be mindful of
+ # your remotes here, if you don't remember what points to your
+ # fork, use git remote -v to see. Usually origin points to your
+ # fork and upstream to llvm/llvm-project
+ git push origin my_change
+
+ # When your PR is accepted, you can now rebase it and make sure
+ # you have all the latest changes.
+ git rebase -i origin/main
+
+ # If this PR is older and you get a lot of new commits with the
+ # rebase, you might want to re-run tests and make sure nothing
+ # broke.
+ ninja check-llvm
+
+Once your PR is approved, rebased, and tests are passing, click `Squash and
+Merge` on your PR in the GitHub web interface.
