Allow anyone to contribute on Github repository without prior authorization
I have a repository on Github and I want to allow the public to send new branches and put in a pull request. Is this possible without prior authorization? Can I leave it open for anyone? I have a few people (using Git Bash) telling me they aren't able to push their new branch.

The public have to fork the repository first and then they can push branches to their fork and create pull requests.
