@GitHubTracey Its an expected behavior that you are not authorized to someone elses repo like this. If you want to contribute to the code you should first fork this repo so you have your own version of it on your own GitHub account. Then you clone that fork locally on your computer: [e-mail]:GitHubTracey/react-native-image-picker.git.

Then you create a branch locally just like you did and implement your changes. After that you push your own branch to your own fork which you have full access to.

Then you go to the original repo here and create a pull request and notify one of the admins of the original repo here in this issue.
