# First Contributions Place for beginners to make their first pull request.  ## Prerequisites You must have git installed & set up on your computer.\ Download Git from [git-scm.com](https://git-scm.com/downloads/) [Instructions for connecting your computer to your GitHub account](/Setup.md) ## Fork this repository Fork this repository by clicking 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 in your GitHub account to your computer. Go to your forked repository on GitHub website, click the code button and then click the _copy to clipboard_ icon.

#### Open a terminal and run the following git command: `git clone ` ## Create a branch Change to the repository directory on your computer (if not already there) ```bash cd first-contributions ``` Now, create a branch using `git branch` command. Use your username for the branch name. ```bash git branch branch_name ``` Switch to the newly created branch ```bash git checkout branch_name ``` ## Make necessary changes Now open `Contributors.md` file in a text editor & add your entry to it. Put it anywhere in between and save the file. If you execute `git status`, you'll see there are changes. Add those changes to the branch you just created using the `git add` command. ```bash git add Contributors.md ``` Commit those changes using the `git commit` command ```bash git commit -m "Add YOURNAME to Contributors list" ``` ## Push changes to GitHub Push your changes to your fork by running ```bash git push origin main ``` Now if you go to your repository on GitHub, you'll see a `Compare & pull request` button. Click it. Now submit the Pull Request. Soon, your changes will be merged into the main branch of this repository. You'll get a notification email once your changes have been merged. ## Next Steps Congratulations 🎉! You just completed the standard _fork -> clone -> edit -> PR_ workflow that you'll use often. > Inspired by [first-contributions](https://github.com/firstcontributions/first-contributions/) \ _A project by Association of Computer Engineering Students, [DIT Pimpri](https://engg.dypvp.edu.in/)_
