Contributing Guidelines

This documentation contains a set of guidelines to help you during the contribution process.
We are happy to welcome all the contributions from anyone willing to improve/add new projects (doesn't matter which language) to this Repository.

Code of Conduct

Before contributing please ensure your pull request adheres to the following guidelines:

STEP-1 : Find an issue

  • Take a look at the Existing Issues and Pull Requests as yours may be a duplicate or create your own Issues!

  • If your issue not an existing issue, then you can add new issue under Issues

  • Wait for the Issue to be assigned to you after which you can start working on it.

Step 2 : Fork the Project

  • Fork this Repository. This will create a Local Copy of this Repository on your Github Profile. Keep a reference to the original project in upstream remote.
$ git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/<repo-name>  
$ cd <repo-name>  
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/<upstream-owner>/<repo-name>
  • If you have already forked the project, update your copy before working.
$ git remote update  
$ git checkout <branch-name>  
$ git rebase upstream/<branch-name>

Step 3 : Choose your domain.

  • Create a branch :
$ git branch <branch-name>
$ git checkout <branch-name>
  • Add your projects to a folder and the folder name should be your project .
  • Add all the files/folders needed.
  • After you've made changes or made your contribution to the project add changes to the branch you've just created by:
# To add only a few files to Branch_Name
$ git add <some files>
# To add only a few files to Branch_Name
$ git add <some files>

Step 4 : Commit

  • To commit give a descriptive message for the convenience of reviewer by:
  • Please make an individual commit for each suggestion in a separate pull request.
  • Check your spelling and grammar.
  • Remove any trailing whitespace.
# This message get associated with all files you have changed  
$ git commit -m "message"

Step 5 : Work Remotely

  • Now you are ready to your work to the remote repository.
  • When your work is ready and complies with the project conventions, upload your changes to your fork:
# To push your work to your remote repository  
$ git push -u origin Branch_Name

Step 6 : Pull Request

  • Go to your repository in browser and click on compare and pull requests. Then add a title and description to your pull request that explains your contribution.
  • Make sure your PR easy to review. That means having a clear description and only touching code that's necessary for your change.
  • Check your spelling and grammar.
  • Remove any trailing whitespace.

Note :

  • New categories, or improvements to the existing categorisation, are always welcome.
  • Being an open source contributor doesn't just mean writing code, either. You can help out by writing documentation, tests, or even giving suggestions. 🏆
