You can also do that by just creating an Issue, and then converting it to a Pull Request later with `hub pull-request -i <existing-issue-num>`, when you actually have some code to commit. That uses the software Hub, mentioned in the cheat sheet. Or instead of installing Hub, you can convert the Issue using one of the other methods listed in http://stackoverflow.com/q/4528869/578288.

I don't recommend converting issues to Pull Requests. See the discussion here which goes into details: https://github.com/github/hub/commit/4f70dd126f46dec14fc341c...
