+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
+  cd llvm-project
+
+  # Add upstream as a remote

I don't think this is strictly needed. Maybe add (optional) in there.
