When you edit the file, Github automatically forked the SuiteCRM repo into your own Github area, and created a commit there. Then you were given the option to create a Pull Request (asking the SuiteCRM maintainers to integrate your patch), but it seems you didn't finish that step.

The full process is described here:
https://help.github.com/en/articles/editing-files-in-another-users-repository

You don't have to repeat everything, you can just go here
https://github.com/salesagility/SuiteCRM/compare/hotfix-7.10.x...pavithra-selvam:patch-1?expand=1

and start the PR. Thanks
