Authority to access Deviation User manuals repo

I'm trying to edit the user manuals repo on git and getting "Unauthorized Access" errors when I do a pull request. Github support says I should try asking for permission to access the repo, even though I have already forked, cloned, committed and synced several times over the last few weeks.
Help, please.

<edit:> I have already tried resetting the SSH key and relinking it with my Git account.

OK, I fixed it. My mistake. Something I misunderstood.
A simple pull request has been submitted just too ease my mind

Merged the change into Master, since I could.

Take a look at this link:
github.com/Treadmule/deviation-manual/pull/1

I believe that shows I did the Pull Request and then I merged my change into the master repo.
I see what you are saying, but I can't explain it.

<edit> I am using the GitHub desktop app, rather than the CLI/Terminal, FWIW.
<edit#2> Now I see my fork (Install-edits), where it didn't appear previously. Maybe Git needs time to "bake". I dunno.

HHHmmmmmm...
I see the button and when I click it, I get a page to Compare between a base branch and a head branch. I don't seen anything about source and destination. And, since I've created a new branch for the simple change I've just made to the "install" document, my branch does not show up as a choice for comparison (with the master) on that web page. So I can't go forward with this.

<Edit> This seems to be a lot more problematic than it ought to be. Maybe I should not use the desktop app and work out how to do this another way.

The "Compare" web page does not see the branch I created for the typos I fixed in the "Install" document. The only branch it sees is the one of the URL change that's been merged already. It does not offer to show my present changes, even though I have committed them in the desktop app.
But, note this:
On that Compare page, you can see a green checkmark along with the comment, "Able to merge". That's how I was able to merge my previous Pull Request.
... sorta like a loaded gun ...

At this point, I can do what I set out to do - edit the user manuals and make my changes available for others to evaluate by linking to a page, like this:
github.com/Treadmule/deviation-manual/pull/2

...wrong ...

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong,... wrong!
It all looks good when viewing my fork of the repo, but the real repository at Git has not changed. Back to square one.

That's actually what we expect. You probably merged your changes back to the master branch in your repository, not back to our repository. You should be able to merge from either the master branch or your new one into our repository.

To do that, click on the "Pull requests" tab and then click on "New pull request". The base fork should be "deviationTx/deviation-manual", base "master". The head fork should be your repository. Selecting either the master branch or your new one should get the changes you made, and github may not let you use one since you merged them. Then click "Create pull request" to actually create the request.

Yes, lesson learned.

... click on the "Pull requests" tab and then click on "New pull request".

On the web page, "DeviationTX/deviation-manual", I see the menu at the top of the window with "| Pull Requests | Issues | Gist" |, If I click on that "Pull Requests", I get a page showing an open Pull Request named "Install Edits2" that I had submitted last night before closing up.

Lower on the page I see what look like tabs with "| Code | Issues | Pull Requests | Wiki | Pulse | Graph |.
So, I'm thinking this is the tab you're talking about. Clicking on that tab brings a page showing "There aren't any open Pull Requests." with the green "New Pull Request" button on the right side of the page. ... wait a minute ... what about the open Pull Request I just saw?
i click on the green button which takes me to the "Compare" page..

The base fork should be "deviationTx/deviation-manual", base "master".

No, I see only, "base: master". Nothing saying "deviationTx/deviation-manual". Clicking on the "base:master" button allows me to choose from other branches, but deviationTx/deviaiton-manual is not among them.
Next to the "base: master" button is another button labelled, "Compare: master" - nothing about head fork.

The head fork should be your repository. Selecting either the master branch or your new one should get the changes you made, and github may not let you use one since you merged them. Then click "Create pull request" to actually create the request.

I see nothing relating to my repo. Clicking on "Compare: master" allows me to again choose from other branches, but nothing is there about my repo or branches.

Perhaps you will be relieved when I say that I think I can see the end of my rope from here.

That's because you opened the "Pull requests" tab on the wrong repository. You need to open it on your repository, not the deviationTx one. Not really your fault - I didn't tell you which one to open. But this tab is where you create pull requests FROM the repository back to the one it was cloned from, not TO the repository from - well, there's no way to know where from in general.

OK, this sounds much like PB's post #47208 previously.
What I observed, while trying to do this, is that when I'm in my repository at github.com/Treadmule/deviation-manual , and use the Pull Requests tab I can see information about pull requests and the green button, "New pull request". Pressing that button, immediately goes away from my repository to the DeviationTX/deviation-manual repository, Comparing changes page where I can set up those parameters you've outlined. . I can't see how I've done something wrong at this stage. It looks like I'll be learning the same lesson again.

If someone wants to help us out with the manual we should minimize the dependence on being familiar with GIT to do so. I think for code development, this is less critical (it is fair to expect some familiarity withVCS when working on a complicated code base), but accessing and updating the manual should be made as easy as possible....

For my part, I agree 100%. I'll do what I can to help.
In the mean time, I've set up a training exercise for myself to learn using git through the command line. That's my last-ditch effort until something better comes along for editing the manual.

I think I have my first Pull Request sorted out & submitted. Please take a look.
Missing Git Add seems to have been my downfall.
