As I understand it, corrections go only to your own fork. Then you can
make a pull request from it to the original repo.<br>
<br>
My guess is that your fork was still being created in the background.<br>

So I decided to try this out. I went to
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/maint/lib/et/doc/src/et_intro.xml">https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/maint/lib/et/doc/src/et_intro.xml</a> ,
clicked "Edit this file", removed the stray apostrophe on line 43,
typed in a commit message, and clicked "Propose file change". I got
a very fancy 500 error page that changes perspective when I move the
mouse; no sign of anything being committed to my otp fork on Github.
Is there a workaround for that?
Regards,
