Fork, Clone, Make Changes, and Create a Pull Request

This guide will walk you through the process of contributing to this repository by forking it, cloning your fork, making changes, checking out a new branch, committing those changes, pushing them to your fork, and finally, creating a pull request to suggest your changes to the original repository.

Fork the Repository

Click the "Fork" button at the top right corner of this repository's page. This action will create a copy of the repository under your GitHub account.

Clone Your Fork

Open your terminal (command prompt or Git Bash on Windows, or a terminal on macOS and Linux).

Navigate to the directory where you want to store the project (use cd to change directories).

Clone your fork of the repository by replacing with your GitHub username:

Create a new branch for your changes, giving it a meaningful name related to the issue or feature you're working on:

git checkout -b feature-or-fix-name

Make your desired changes to the project using your preferred code editor or IDE.

Commit Your Changes

Add the changes you made to the staging area:
