+## Set Up: Contribute with Git
+
+Before creating your first pull request, set up your fork to contribute to PyRIT by following these steps:
+
+1. [Fork](https://github.com/Azure/PyRIT/fork) the repo from the main branch. By default, forks are named the same as their upstream repository. This will create a new repo called `GITHUB_USERNAME/PyRIT` (where `GITHUB_USERNAME` is a variable for your GitHub username).
+2. Add this new repo locally wherever you cloned PyRIT
+```
+# to see existing remotes
+git remote -v
+
+# add your fork as a remote named `REMOTE_NAME`
+git remote add REMOTE_NAME https://github.com/GITHUB_USERNAME/PyRIT.git
+```
+
+To add your contribution to the repo, the flow typically looks as follows:
+```
+git checkout main
+git pull # pull from origin
+git checkout -b mybranch
+
+... # make changes
+
+git add .
+git commit -m "changes were made"
+git push REMOTE_NAME
+```
+
+After pushing changes, you'll see a link to create a PR:
+```
+remote: Create a pull request for 'mybranch' on GitHub by visiting:
+remote:      https://github.com/GITHUB_USERNAME/PyRIT/pull/new/mybranch
+```
+
