If you want to contribute to a project developed on GitHub, you need to have a GitHub account. So it does matter.

Actually, you can send the diff patches by email/ pastebin/ gitlab/ etc. It's up to the main developer to take your contribution seriously, given the level of annoyance you might be presenting. Same happens in the other direction, you can host your code on sourcehut, but many junior devs could be repelled by the old school ux.

I dont get how that works, you mail those lines with all those

+line
+something
-something

And they can like transform that into git and have it work as an actual patch?
