+# How to create a DB PR via GitHub
+
+This is a simplified guide to easily create PRs containing DB fixes (SQL code) without bothering with the terminal, 
+an easier alternative to the [traditional way of creating PRs](https://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/how-to-create-a-pr).
+If you want to submit C++ or other non-SQL kind of fixes, please follow the other guide.
+
+## Do only ONCE: create and clone your AzerothCore fork
+
+You need to be signed on [github.com](https://github.com/). If you don't have an account yet, create one.
+
+Open the [AzerothCore repository](https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk)
+and create a fork of it by clicking in the top-right "Fork" button:
+
+![Create a fork of AzerothCore](http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/assets/images/pr-tutorial/1.png)
+
+## Creating a new PR
+
+### 1. Update your fork on GitHub
+
+Open your browser and navigate to your fork on GitHub (change `YourUsername` with your actual GitHub username):
+
+**https://github.com/YourUsername/azerothcore-wotlk**
+
+If your `master` branch is not up to date with latest AzerothCore, you'll see something like:
+
+`This branch is XX commits behind azerothcore:master`
+
+![AzerothCore update fork](http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/assets/images/pr-tutorial/update-fork-1.png)
+
+to update it, click on **Fetch upstream** and then **Fetch and merge**.
+
+As a result, your fork's `master` branch should say:
+
+`This branch is even with azerothcore:master`
+
+![AzerothCore fork updated](http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/assets/images/pr-tutorial/update-fork-2.png)
+
+
+### 2. Create a new branch
+
+Make sure you have the `master` branch currently selected, click on the branches dropdown and create a new branch.
+
+![AzerothCore fork updated](http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/assets/images/pr-tutorial/web-create-new-branch.png)
+
+You can name your new branch the way you want (typically something related to your fix), 
+just make sure you haven't used that name before and that you are creating the new branch by copying the master branch.
+
+You should see a message like **Create branch my-new-branch-123 from master**.
+
+After you create the new branch, make sure you **keep that one selected**.
+
+### 3. Navigate to the pending_db_world folder
+
+You now need to navigate inside the `data/sql/updates/pending_db_world` folder of your fork.
+
+You can either do it manually by clicking on the `data` folder, then `sql`, `updates`, `pending_db_world`;
+
+...or you can just open this URL (change `YourUsername` with your actual GitHub username):
+
+**https://github.com/YourUsername/azerothcore-wotlk/tree/my-new-branch-123/data/sql/updates/pending_db_world**
+
+### 4. Generate a new update file rev
+
+In a new browser tab, open [azerothcore.org/pages/rev-generator](https://www.azerothcore.org/pages/rev-generator/).
+
+
+![AzerothCore SQL update rev generator](http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/assets/images/pr-tutorial/web-rev-generator.png)
+
+This will give you:
+
+- the name of the file you need to create which will contain your SQL code
+- the *SQL version code* (an `INSERT INTO` query) which you will need to add at the top of the new SQL file that you will submit
+
+**Note**: they should always go together and you should always have a new rev for every PR you send.
+If you need to get a new rev, just refresh the page or click "Generate new".
+
+Copy them somewhere or keep that browser tab open.
+
+### 5. Create and commit a new file
+
+Back on GitHub, from the `pending_db_world` folder, click **Add file** and then **Create new file**:
+
+![AzerothCore create new SQL file](http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/assets/images/pr-tutorial/web-create-new-file-1.png)
+
+Now you need to:
+
+- set the file name as the one you generated in the step 4
+- add the SQL version code that you generated in the step 4
+
+![AzerothCore new SQL file example](http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/assets/images/pr-tutorial/web-create-new-file-2.png)
+
+Now scroll down the page, you'll need to:
+
+1. fill out the commit message, we use the [Conventional Commits format](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/),
+  for example `fix(DB/Creature): some commit description here`
+2. (optional) include some extra description
+3. make sure that "Commit directly to the `your-new-branch-name`" is selected
+4. Click **Commit new file**
+
+### 6. Open the PR
+
+Go back to the [main AzerothCore repository](https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk),
+you will notice that GitHub is smart enough to realize that you are about to open a PR
+and shows this nice light-yellow box:
+
+![AzerothCore - Compare & pull request](http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/assets/images/pr-tutorial/11.png)
+
+click on the "Compare & pull request" green button (located on the right).
+
+Now fill the PR template following the instructions that will appear in the screen,
+do not forget to add the **testing instructions** so people can be able to test your PR and it can be merged:
+
+![AzerothCore - Compare & pull request](http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/assets/images/pr-tutorial/12.png)
+
+It's also a good practice to check the "File changes" tab to see that everything is in place as you expect:
+
+![AzerothCore - Compare & pull request](http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/assets/images/pr-tutorial/13.png)
+
+**NOTE:** We do not respond well to leechers! If your fix comes from another organization or person 
+you should ALWAYS give credit to the original author and commit.
+
+That's it!
