+=head1 SUBMITTING A PATCH VIA GITHUB
+
+GitHub is a website that makes it easy to fork and publish projects
+with Git. First you should set up a GitHub account and log in.
+
+Perl's git repository is mirrored on GitHub at this page:
+
+ http://github.com/github/perl/tree/blead
+
+Visit the page and click the "fork" button. This clones the Perl git
+repository for you and provides you with "Your Clone URL" from which
+you should clone:
+
+ % git clone ***@github.com:USERNAME/perl.git perl-github
+
+We shall make the same patch as above, creating a new branch:
+
+ % cd perl-github
+ % git remote add upstream git://github.com/github/perl.git
+ % git pull upstream blead
+ % git checkout -b orange
+ % perl -pi -e 's{Leon Brocard}{Orange Brocard}' AUTHORS
+ % git add AUTHORS
+ % git commit -m 'Rename Leon Brocard to Orange Brocard'
+ % git push origin orange
+
+The orange branch has been pushed to GitHub, so you should now send an
+email to perl5-***@perl.org with a description of your changes and
+the following information:
+
+ http://github.com/USERNAME/perl/tree/orange
+ ***@github.com:USERNAME/perl.git branch orange

This doesn't seem to work. I created a GitHub account and am logged in.
I then went the above URL. There is a 'fork' button. When I press it,
I get an error page saying: That page doesn't exist!

Is there a step missing, or is it just me?

Sounds like a GitHub problem. Try again a bit later?
