Cannot create branch in Github

Question

I am trying to create a branch on someone else's repo. I am trying to follow the official instructions, but I get stuck here because Github apparently should offer to create a branch when I type it in? But here, nothing happens.

Answer 1

So I figured out what my problem was. I was not added as a collaborator for this repo. I did not know that I had to be a collaborator to make a new branch.
