Introduction

Welcome to a beginner-friendly GitHub repository. A great place to start for a first practice contribution!

This repo is designed for first-time contributors to get familiar with the process of forking a repo, cloning it to their local machine, making changes, and submitting a pull request.

I've included some simple tasks for you to complete, along with step-by-step instructions on how to submit your changes.

Whether you're new to programming or just new to open source contributions, this is the perfect place to get started. So, fork the repo, clone it, and let's get started!


Objectives

  • Provide an introduction and overview of the repository for first-time contributors.
  • Explain the process of forking a repo, cloning it to a local machine, making changes and submitting a pull request.
  • Include simple tasks for contributors to complete with step-by-step instructions on how to submit changes.
  • Encourage contributors to fork and clone the repo and get started with making contributions.

Fork this repo

Step 1

step 1 fork this repo drown down button


  • Click on the "Fork" drop down button located in the top right corner of the page.

  • Click on the "+ Create a new fork*


Step 2

step 2 fork this repository addition


  • Click on "Create fork"

  • Once the repository has been forked, you will be taken to the forked repository's page.

  • This will be a copy of the original repository, but it will be under your account.







Clone this repo

step 1 click code then ssh then copy

  • First, lets click on the "Code" drop down button, click on "SSH" then click the "Copy Icon"

  • Then, let's go to our local machine, open the terminal, and create a new directory to put our newly cloned repo in and name it "contribute-practice"

mkdir contribute-practice
  • and cd into the directory
cd contribute-practice
  • Clone the forked repository to your local machine by typing git clone followed by the SSH link that you copied.
git clone copyoftheurlssh



Create a branch

  • Now let's create a new branch through the terminal using the git switch BranchName.

Replace BranchName with the name of the new branch you want to create.

For example:

git switch -c branchTest



Contribution time!

  • Open the contributing.md file, you can use a text editor of your choice, for example, nano contributing.md or vi contributing.md I personally use vs code, so I would type:
code .

  • Follow the directions under the contributing.md, and once you've finished, do the same process for readme.md (so that your username and quotes are displayed in both files)

  • Now lets commit your changes!

  • Remember the order for git best practices!
    git status >> git add (files changed) >> git commit -m "insert short description of changes made" >> git push

type:

git status

now you can see the files that were changed, now add them (In this case, it should be contributing.md and readme.md)

git add (files changed)

now lets commit our changes with a short description

git commit -m "Add: Added my name to list, My first contribution!"

Push the changes to your forked repository on GitHub using the command git push origin BranchName, where BranchName is the name of the branch you are working on.

git push -u origin BranchName



Making a Pull Request

Step 1

step 1 Pull request






  • Go to your forked repository on GitHub, click on "contribute" drop down, and click on "Open pull request"




Step 2

step 2 Pull request


  • Fill in the title and description of the pull request to explain the changes you made!

  • After filling out the details, click the "Create pull request" button to submit your request for review.









Great job! All done! Wasn't so bad was it?
