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.
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/your-username/emailblog.git
where your-username is your GitHub username. Here you're copying the contents of the first-contributions repository on GitHub to your computer.
Change to the repository directory on your computer (if you are not already there):
cd emailblog
Now create a branch using the git checkout command:
git checkout -b your-new-branch-name
For example:
git checkout -b addAnotherTip
(Please let the name of the branch be descriptive of the changes you are about to make.)
Now go ahead and make the necessary contributions you want to make.
You can execute the command git status, to see the files you have made the changes to.
Add those changes to the branch you just created using the git add . command:
git add .
Now commit those changes using the git commit command:
git commit -m "Descriptive commit message on the changes you made."
Please before you push your codes to the repository make sure you pull from the repository, so the recent changes that have been made to the main repo can be reflected on your local machine. This is to avoid merge conflicts. Use the git command line git pull upstream main
git pull upstream main
and fix any merge conflicts you might have before pushing your changes.
Now push your changes using the command git push:
git push origin your-new-branch-name
replacing your-new-branch-name with the name of the branch you created earlier.
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.
Your changes or contributions will be reviewed and if ok, merged into the main branch of this project. You will get a notification email once the changes have been merged.
