Guide to Contribution

• Fork the repo to contribute
• Clone on your local machine

git clone (copy link of the repo and paste)
cd (name of folder where you cloned the repo)

• Create a new branch

git checkout -b my-new-branch

• Add your contribution
• Commit and push

git add .
git commit -m "your-commit-msg"
git push origin my-new-branch

• Create a new pull request from your forked repository

Avoid Conflicts (Syncing your fork)

An easy way to avoid conflicts is to add an 'upstream' for your git repo, as other PR's may be merged while you're working on your branch/fork.

git remote add upstream (copy link from the code and paste)

You can verify that the new remote has been added by typing

git remote -v

To pull any new changes from your parent repo simply run

git merge upstream/master

This will give you any eventual conflicts and allow you to easily solve them in your repo.

Note: In hacktoberfest, only valid PRs count. Make sure you make PRs to the repositories or issues which are hacktoberfest accepted or have the hacktoberfest tag on them. Before you start writing code, make sure to sign up here so that your contributions count. More details about a valid pull request can be found at the official website.
