How to contribute

Step 1: Fork this repository

• A fork will create a copy of this repository in your GitHub account.

Step 2: Clone the repository

• Cloning will create the copy of the forked repository in your local machine.

• Copy the URL from here.

• Open Git Bash or terminal and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Sanjivekumaran/Pod-2.git

• After cloning the repo, run this command to add the main repository as upstream to sync with it. Run this command to add upstream:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/Sanjivekumaran/Pod-2.git

Step 3: Create a branch:

• Creating your own branch separates your changes with main branch. For example, if things go wrong or you are not satisfied with them, then you can delete your branch and the main project won't be affected.

Navigate to the folder where the repository is cloned, which will be named Pod-2.

Now, in the terminal, create(or use dev) a branch in Git using the following command:

git checkout -b <branch-name>

Step 4: Make necessary changes and commit

1. Open the project in INTELLI-J IDEA or ECLIPSE and make sure that you are on the branch created by you, not on main.
2. Make the changes on the concerned files in order to implement a feature you want to add or resolve an issue.
3. After you are satisfied with your changes, you can add these changes by using the command:

git add <file names>

4. Pull the changes from the upstream repo using the command:

git pull upstream main

5. Then commit these changes using the command:

git commit -m'<Relevant commit message>'

Step 5: Push changes

Push your changes using the command:

git push
