First time Practice Contributions!

Introduction

Welcome to Your First GitHub Contribution!

This repository is the perfect starting point for those new to coding or open-source contribution. Here, you'll get hands-on practice with the basics of GitHub collaboration - from forking and cloning a repository to pushing changes and creating pull requests.

I have prepared a set of straightforward tasks to guide you through each step of the contribution process, complete with detailed instructions. Ready to embark on your open-source journey? Fork this repository, clone it to your local system, and let's dive in!

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

• 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

• 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

• 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

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

Step 2

• 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?

• Congratulations on completing the typical fork, clone, make changes, and pull request workflow commonly used by contributors. Keep up the good work and continue contributing!

• I will get around to merging the request when I can, I am usually good about it!
