Getting Started

These are a set of instructions to follow for you to setup the project locally and run it.

Step 1: Fork the project repository

Fork the repository to you GitHub .

Step 2: Clone your fork

Click on the code drop down menu. Now you can either download the zip file and extract it on your local system.

git clone https://github.com/Such6/mycryptowebsite.git

Step 3: Navigate to your local folder

Since the clone was downloaded into a subdirectory of your working directory, you can navigate to it using: cd NAME_OF_REPOSITORY.

cd mycryptowebsite

Step 4: Create a new branch

Use git checkout -b BRANCH_NAME to create a new branch and then immediately switch to it.

git checkout -b branch_name

Use git branch to show your local branches.

git branch

Step 5: Make changes in your local repository

Use a text editor or IDE to make the changes you planned to the files in your local repository. Because you checked out a branch in the previous step, any edits you make will only affect that branch.

Step 6: Git Add and Commit your changes

Use git add -A or git add . to stage your changes and git commit -m "DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES" to commit them.

git add .
git commit -m"<Description of changes>"

Step 7: Push your changes to your fork

When you are done making all of your changes, upload these changes to your fork using git push origin BRANCH_NAME.

git push origin <BRANCH_NAME>

Step 8: Begin the pull request

Return to your fork on GitHub, and refresh the page. You may see a highlighted area that displays your recently pushed branch.

Step 9: Create the pull request

Before submitting the pull request, you first need to describe the changes you made .
