Submitting Contributions👩‍💻👨‍💻

Below you will find the process and workflow used to review and merge your changes.

Step 0 : Find an issue

  • Take a look at the Existing Issues or create your own Issues!
  • Wait for the Issue to be assigned to you after which you can start working on it.
  • Note : Every change in this project should/must have an associated issue.

Step 1 : Fork the Project

  • Fork this Repository. This will create a Local Copy of this Repository on your Github Profile. Keep a reference to the original project in upstream remote.
$ git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/<repo-name>  
$ cd <repo-name>  
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/<upstream-owner>/<repo-name>
  • If you have already forked the project, update your copy before working.
$ git remote update  
$ git checkout <branch-name>  
$ git rebase upstream/<branch-name>

Step 2 : Branch

Create a new branch. Use its name to identify the issue your addressing.

# It will create a new branch with name Branch_Name and switch to that branch 
$ git checkout -b branch_name

Step 3 : Work on the issue assigned

  • Work on the issue(s) assigned to you.
  • Add all the files/folders needed.
  • After you've made changes or made your contribution to the project add changes to the branch you've just created by:
# To add all new files to branch Branch_Name  
$ git add .  

# To add only a few files to Branch_Name
$ git add <some files>
  • If not assigned, you can submit a PR solving the issue if no one else is working on that.

Step 4 : Commit

  • To commit give a descriptive message for the convenience of reviewer by:
# This message get associated with all files you have changed  
$ git commit -m "message"
  • NOTE: A PR should have only one commit. Multiple commits should be squashed.

Step 5 : Work Remotely

  • Now you are ready to your work to the remote repository.
  • When your work is ready and complies with the project conventions, upload your changes to your fork:
# To push your work to your remote repository  
$ git push -u origin Branch_Name

Step 6 : Pull Request

  • Go to your repository in browser and click on compare and pull requests. Then add a title and description to your pull request that explains your contribution.

  • Voila! Your Pull Request has been submitted and will be reviewed and merged.🥳
