@PriyadharsiniJ,

For the moment I'd recommend doing the following:

  1. Enable Show Fork button in Team Explorer

  2. Fork the repository

  3. Create pull request

I like to do this as well:

  1. From the command line do the following
git remote rename origin your_user_name
git remote rename upstream origin
  1. View the pull request list on the GitHub pane

You should now see a pull request from your GitHub account to the public repository you originally cloned.

I'd love for all this to be completely automated!
