Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following tools installed on your machine:

• Git
• Flutter SDK

Fork the Repository

1. Go to the project's GitHub page.
2. Click on the Fork button at the top right of the page to create a copy of the repository under your GitHub account.

Clone Your Fork

Clone your forked repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/REPOSITORY-NAME.git

Replace YOUR-USERNAME with your GitHub username and REPOSITORY-NAME with the name of the repository.

Set Upstream Remote

Navigate to your repository’s directory:

cd REPOSITORY-NAME

Add the original repository as a remote named upstream:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/ORIGINAL-OWNER/REPOSITORY-NAME.git

Verify the new remote named upstream:

git remote -v

Create a Branch

Create a new branch for your changes:

git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name

Make Changes

Make your changes to the project using your preferred code editor. Follow the project's coding guidelines and ensure all changes are tested.

Commit Changes

After making your changes, commit them with a descriptive message:

git add .
git commit -m "Add your detailed description of changes"

Push Changes

Push your changes to your forked repository:

git push origin feature/your-feature-name

Create a Pull Request

1. Go to your forked repository on GitHub.
2. Click the Compare & pull request button.

3. Ensure the base repository is the original repository, and the base branch is main (or master).
4. Add a title and description for your pull request.
5. Click Create pull request.

Syncing with Upstream

To keep your forked repository up to date with the original repository, you need to sync it regularly:

git fetch upstream
git checkout main
git merge upstream/main
