How to Contribute to a Project on GitHub

1. Fork the Repository:

   • Navigate to the project's GitHub repository and click Fork to create a copy under your GitHub account.

2. Clone the Repository:

   • Clone your forked repository to your local machine using the command:

     git clone https://github.com/your-username/repository-name.git

3. Create a New Branch:

   • Create a new branch to work on a specific feature or bug fix:

     git checkout -b feature-branch-name

4. Make Changes and Commit:

   • Edit the code as needed, then stage and commit your changes:

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

5. Push Changes to GitHub:

   • Push your changes to your forked repository:

     git push origin feature-branch-name

6. Create a Pull Request:

   • Go to your forked repository on GitHub and click Compare & Pull Request.
   • Submit your pull request to the original repository for review.

7. Address Feedback (if any):

   • If the maintainers request changes, make the necessary edits on your branch and push them again. The pull request will automatically update.

8. Merge:

   • Once approved, your changes will be merged into the main repository.

9. Sync Your Fork:

   • Keep your fork updated by fetching the latest changes from the upstream (original) repository and merging them into your fork.
