My current repo is ahead of the repo I forked from. I was wondering, is there a way I can create a new branch off of master, pull in the files I changed, and create a PR from this branch?
The issue is I don't want to create a PR for all of my changes in master. For example, I have changes to:
src/
file1
file2
file3
from my master to theirs in my fork. I want to pull in all there changes, and then only send my changes to file2 in a PR.

If you create a PR branch, create it from upstream/master (with upstream being the remote name for the original repo, that you have forked)
git remote add upstream /url/original/repo
git fetch upstream
git checkout -b mypr upstream/master
From then, as commented, you can cherry-pick your commits (or even ranges of commits)
