HacktoberFest 2021

Happy Hacktober!

This is a beginner friendly repository made specifically for Hacktoberfest that helps you get your first PR and takes you a step closer to earning your Hacktoberfest T-shirt.

If you are a beginner, and looking for your first contribution, I'm here to help.

Just append your favorite program/code be it hello world or some pattern printing in HacktoberFest and that counts as your first PR.

Read Here or Refer to Git for more.

Easy Guidelines

To make your First PR follow the below commands:

1. Cloning the Project

Use the git clone command with the repository URL from the command line in a terminal window:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/HacktoberFest.git

2. Create a New Branch

To create your branch, from your terminal, change your directory so that you are working in the directory of the repository. Be sure to use the actual name of the repository (i.e. Hacktoberfest) to change into that directory.

cd HacktoberFest

Now, we’ll create our new branch with the git branch command. Make sure you name it descriptively so that others working on the project understand what you are working on.

git branch new-branch

Now that our new branch is created, we can switch to make sure that we are working on that branch by using the git checkout command:

git checkout new-branch

Once you enter the git checkout command, you will receive the following output:

Output:

Switched to branch 'new-branch'

At this point, you can now modify existing files or add new files to the project on your own branch.

3. Make Changes Locally

Once you have modified existing files or added new files to the project, you can add them to your local repository, which you can do with the git add command. Let’s add the -A flag to add all changes that we have made:

git add -A

or

git add .

4. Commit the message

Next, we’ll want to record the changes that we made to the repository with the git commit command.

The commit message is an important aspect of your code contribution; it helps the other contributors fully understand the change you have made, why you made it, and how significant it is. Additionally, commit messages provide a historical record of the changes for the project at large, helping future contributors along the way.

If you have a very short message, you can record that with the -m flag and the message in quotes:

Example:

git commit -m "Updated Readme.md"

At this point you can use the git push command to push the changes to the current branch of your forked repository:

Example:

git push --set-upstream origin new-branch

5. Update Local Repository

While you are working on a project alongside other contributors, it is important for you to keep your local repository up-to-date with the project as you don’t want to make a pull request for code that will cause conflicts. To keep your local copy of the code base updated, you’ll need to sync changes.

We’ll first go over configuring a remote for the fork, then syncing the fork.

6. Configure a Remote for the Fork

Next, you’ll have to specify a new remote upstream repository for us to sync with the fork. This will be the original repository that you forked from. You’ll have to do this with the git remote add command.

git remote add upstream https://github.com/abhisheksingh98/HacktoberFest.git

In this example, upstream is the shortname we have supplied for the remote repository since in terms of Git, “upstream” refers to the repository that you cloned from. If you want to add a remote pointer to the repository of a collaborator, you may want to provide that collaborator’s username or a shortened nickname for the shortname.

7. Sync the Fork

Once you have configured a remote that references the upstream and original repository on GitHub, you are ready to sync your fork of the repository to keep it up-to-date.

To sync your fork, from the directory of your local repository in a terminal window, you’ll have to use the git fetch command to fetch the branches along with their respective commits from the upstream repository. Since you used the shortname “upstream” to refer to the upstream repository, you’ll have to pass that to the command:

git fetch upstream

Switch to the local master branch of our repository:

git checkout master

You’ll now have to merge any changes that were made in the original repository’s master branch, that you will access through your local upstream/master branch, with your local master branch:

git merge upstream/master

8. Create Pull Request

At this point, you are ready to make a pull request to the original repository.

You should navigate to your forked repository, and press the “New pull request” button on your left-hand side of the page.

Hurray!! You just got closer to complete your hacktoberfest challenge.
