Contributions

This project aims to simplify and guide the way developers to get help when they have skipped some syntax from their heads or need assistance about how to tackle a specfic thing in HTML.

If you are looking to make your contribution in helping the world and be useful for others, follow the steps below.

If you're not comfortable with command line, here are tutorials using GUI tools.

If you don't have git on your machine, install it.

Fork this repository

Fork this repository by clicking on the fork button on the top of this page. This will create a copy of this repository in your account.

Clone the repository

Now clone the forked repository to your machine. Go to your GitHub account, open the forked repository, click on the code button and then click the copy to clipboard icon.

Open a terminal and run the following git command:

git clone "url you just copied"

where "url you just copied" (without the quotation marks) is the url to this repository (your fork of this project). See the previous steps to obtain the url.

For example:

git clone https://github.com/Web-Development-Notes/HTML-Notes.git

where this-is-you is your GitHub username. Here you're copying the contents of the first-contributions repository on GitHub to your computer.

Create a branch

Change to the repository directory on your computer (if you are not already there):

cd HTML-Notes

Now create a branch using the git switch command:

git switch -c your-new-branch-name

For example:

git switch -c add-table

Add information which you feel is missing in HTML-Notes repository and commit those changes

Now make a separate folder for adding any new information which you want to share with developers.

For example if you want to add something about tables then make a folder named Table then in this folder you will be making a table.html in which you will be adding all about you want to share.

You should include:

• Code for how to do that thing
• Comments for explaning the different code pieces

If you go to the project directory and execute the command git status, you'll see there are changes.

Add all those changes to the branch you just created using the git add command:

git add -A

Now commit those changes using the git commit command:

git commit -m "Brief description of your changes"

Push changes to GitHub

Push your changes using the command git push:

git push -u origin your-branch-name

replacing your-branch-name with the name of the branch you created earlier.

Submit your changes for review

• If you go to your repository on GitHub, you'll see a Compare & pull request button. Click on that button.

• Now submit the pull request.

• Soon I'll be merging all your changes into the main branch of this project. You will get a notification email once the changes have been merged.
