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>

$ 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>

  • Add your projects to a folder and the folder name should be your project .

$ 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. 🏆
