🤝 Contributing Guidelines

Contributions are what make the open-source community amazing. Any contributions you make are greatly valued and appreciated!

✅ Before You Contribute

Ensure your contribution meets these criteria:

• 📚 Add only legally free resources
• ⚠️ No pirated or copyrighted material
• 💻 Must be relevant to programming/tech
• 📑 PDF preferred, under 100MB
• 🌟 Content should add real value

📘 How to Add a Book

---

1️⃣ Fork the Repository

Fork via GitHub UI, then clone

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/Free-programming-books.git cd Free-programming-books

---

2️⃣ Create a Feature Branch

git checkout -b add-book-category-name

Example: git checkout -b add-python-cookbook

---

3️⃣ Add Your Book

• Navigate to the appropriate category folder
• Add your PDF with a clear, descriptive name
• Use this naming convention: BookTitle_Author_Year.pdf
• Example: CleanCode_RobertMartin_2008.pdf

4️⃣ Update the Code in src/data/books.ts

Inside, it usually looks like this:

export const books = [
  {
    id: "python-1",
    title: "Learning Python",
    author: "Mark Lutz",
    category: "Python Programming",
    language: "Python",
    year: 2020,
    pages: 1600,
    level: "Advanced",
    description: "Comprehensive guide to Python programming.",
    downloadLink: "https://example.com/learning-python.pdf",
    tags: ["Python", "Reference", "Advanced"]
  }
]

export const categories = [
  "Web Development",
  "Machine Learning",
  "Python Programming",
  "Data Science"
]

export const languages = [
  "Python",
  "Java",
  "JavaScript",
  "C",
  "C++",
  "Kotlin",
  "HTML/CSS",
  "General"
]

---

4️⃣ Add a New Book Entry

Scroll to the books array and add your new book below its category for example if you are adding python books:

{
  "id": "python-S.NO",
  "title": "Learning Python the Hard Way",
  "author": "Zed A. Shaw",
  "category": "Python Programming",
  "language": "Python",
  "pages": 320,
  "year": 2024,
  "level": "Beginner",
  "description": "Learn Python through practical exercises and examples.",
  "downloadLink": "https://example.com/python-hard-way.pdf", // Github book link
  "tags": ["Python", "Hands-on", "Beginner"],
  "featured": false
}

💡 Tip:

• Use "language" to specify the programming language (e.g., "Python", "Java", "JavaScript").
• Keep the description concise (1–2 sentences).

---

🏷️ 5️⃣ If Category or Programming Language Doesn’t Exist

If your book belongs to a new category or uses a programming language not yet listed, add them inside the same file:

Example:

export const categories = [
  "Web Development",
  "Machine Learning",
  "Python Programming",
  "AI Ethics" // newly added category
]

export const languages = [
  "Python",
  "Java",
  "JavaScript",
  "C",
  "C++",
  "Kotlin",
  "HTML/CSS",
  "Rust" // newly added programming language
]

⚡ Make sure:

• The programming language name matches standard naming ("Python", not "python").
• There are no duplicates.

6️⃣ Validate Your Syntax

Before committing, ensure your JSON/TS file is valid:

npm run lint

or use an online JSON/TS validator

---

5️⃣ Commit with a Clear Message

git add . git commit -m "Add [Book Name] by [Author] to [Category] folder"

Example:

git commit -m "Add Clean Code by Robert Martin to Java folder"

---

6️⃣ Push and Create a Pull Request

git push origin add-book-category-name

Then go to GitHub → Pull Requests → New Pull Request
and add a short description of your contribution ✨
