Process for fixing a typo on codidact.org
Is there a preferred process for making minor fixes such as typos on codidact.org?

I've made a [commit to a fork] but I didn't want to raise a GitHub issue and make a pull request without checking the process first, as it's such a tiny change.

- Should it be included in another issue which addresses the same file? 
- Should it be added to a dedicated issue for typos and wait until several typos can be fixed at once?
- Should it have its own issue even though it's small?
- Should it be ignored - is it too small to change?

I decided to take up time with a community discussion here on Meta rather than risk wasting developer time by making an assumption about the process on GitHub. I couldn't find anything about this is in the [contributing guidelines] - would it be helpful to add something about typos there?
