Guidelines on how this open source community works :)

Read below to see how you can join an existing project or create your own.

One rule of this community:

We don't care if you break things. This is a playground and we encourage failing often. Use this as a practice ground and enjoy contributing to projects you create with your fellow members.🔥

A Guide to Get Started

1. On the GitHub page for this repository, click on the Button "Fork".

   

2. Clone your forked repository to your computer:

   

   For example, run this command inside your terminal:

   git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/start-here.git

   Replace <your-github-username>!

   Learn more about forking and cloning a repo.

3. Before you make any changes, keep your fork in sync to avoid merge conflicts:

   git remote add upstream https://github.com/Smart-Brain-s/start-here.git
   git pull upstream master

   If you run into a merge conflict, you have to resolve the conflict. There are a lot of guides online, or you can try this one by opensource.com.

4. On your computer, open your text editor, and add your name to the CONTRIBUTORS.md file.

5. Add the changes with git add, git commit (write a good commit message, if possible):

   git add CONTRIBUTORS.md
   git commit -m "Add <your-github-username>"

   Replace <your-github-username>!

6. Push your changes to your repository:

   git push origin master

7. Go to the GitHub page of your fork, and make a pull request:

   

   Read more about pull requests on the GitHub help pages.

8. Wait until one of the maintainers merges your pull request. If there are any conflicts, you will get a notification.

9. Go join a project and start contributing or create your own group apps. Don't be shy and enjoy creating things together🚀
