First Contributions
This project aims to simplify and guide the way beginners make their first contribution. If you are looking to make your first contribution, follow the steps below.
If you're not comfortable with command line, here are tutorials using GUI tools.
If you don't have git on your machine, install it.
Fork this repository
Fork this repository by clicking on the fork button on the top of this page. This will create a copy of this repository in your account.
Clone the repository
Now clone the forked repository to your machine. Go to your GitHub account, open the forked repository, click on the code button and then click the copy to clipboard icon.
Open a terminal and run the following git command:
git clone "url you just copied"
where "url you just copied" (without the quotation marks) is the url to this repository (your fork of this project). See the previous steps to obtain the url.
For example:
git clone https://github.com/this-is-you/first-contributions.git
where this-is-you is your GitHub username. Here you're copying the contents of the first-contributions repository on GitHub to your computer.
Create a branch
Change to the repository directory on your computer (if you are not already there):
cd first-contributions
Now create a branch using the git switch command:
git switch -c your-new-branch-name
For example:
git switch -c add-alonzo-church
Make necessary changes and commit those changes
Now open Contributors.md file in a text editor, add your name to it. Don't add it at the beginning or end of the file. Put it anywhere in between. Now, save the file.
If you go to the project directory and execute the command git status, you'll see there are changes.
Add those changes to the branch you just created using the git add command:
git add Contributors.md
Now commit those changes using the git commit command:
git commit -m "Add your-name to Contributors list"
replacing your-name with your name.
Push changes to GitHub
Push your changes using the command git push:
git push origin -u your-branch-name
replacing your-branch-name with the name of the branch you created earlier.
If you get any errors while pushing, click here:

Go to GitHub's tutorial on generating and configuring an SSH key to your account.
