Can't create a pull request

Hi!
I am just newbie and can't create a pull request.
Will you guide me in details.... please...

For this reason, I am posting the matter as a issue here. Sorry for this...

Actually if I want to get output info of all formats available along with the downloadable links, I may try with '-F -g' option, but this arguments returns nothing to output window (cmd).

I am feeling uneasy to write a GUI of youtube-dl. The application uses youtube-dl to get infos and the links. End-user should have the choice to use youtube-dl or other download manager. I need to call youtube-dl twice, first for getting information and another call for getting link of the requested format as it will be requested from end-user end.

To make the matter more simple to realize, I want to say that I need a table like below:

Format Code Resolution Note Links
a........... a........ a................. a........... a...........
b........... b........ b................. b........... b...........
c........... c........ c................ c........... c........... and more .......

Actually I need to get a column of links.

But there is no provision to get it now, as far I know...
At this point, I am forced to have a look in the code of youtube-dl, have found that some changes of code may make the youtube-dl able to give this type of output and it will not consume much more time to produce.....

On Youtube-dl.py at the 'def list_formats(self, info_dict):'

If I modify the code as below...

def list_formats(self, info_dict):
    formats = info_dict.get('formats', [info_dict])
    #Heres to check that user wants to get links....
    if self.params.get('forceurl', False):
        table = [
            [f['format_id'], f['ext'], self.format_resolution(f), self._format_note(f), f['url']]
            for f in formats
            if f.get('preference') is None or f['preference'] >= -1020]
        
        header_line = ['format code', 'extension', 'resolution', 'note', 'link']
        if len(formats) > 1:
            table[-1][-3] += (' ' if table[-1][-3] else '') + '(best)'
       #Now need to skip of checking 'quiet' option and let it to be printed on output
        self.to_screen(
            '[info] Available formats for %s:\n%s' %
            (info_dict['id'], render_table(header_line, table)))
    else:
        table = [
            [f['format_id'], f['ext'], self.format_resolution(f), self._format_note(f)]
            for f in formats
            if f.get('preference') is None or f['preference'] >= -1020]
        
        header_line = ['format code', 'extension', 'resolution', 'note']
        if len(formats) > 1:
            table[-1][-2] += (' ' if table[-1][-2] else '') + '(best)'
          
        self.to_stdout(
            '[info] Available formats for %s:\n%s' %
            (info_dict['id'], render_table(header_line, table)))

It will give Youtube-dl more ability....

What do you think?
Lets have a cheers, I think.

One more thing: English is not my mother-tongue and I am not much educated, just 10+2. So you may have some problems to understand my words. Sorry for this inconvenience.

Thank you.

1. There is a clean step by step instruction on how to make PRs.
2. -F and -g are not supposed to be used together in the first place.
3. To get arbitrary data you must consume the output of --dump-json. You should not change the format of tables.
