Welcome to Hello-World

This repository serves as a learning tool for new contributors to open-source, but pull requests here won’t count toward Hacktoberfest.

Getting Started

  • Fork this repository on GitHub by clicking the Fork button in the top right of this page.

  • Clone your forked repo to your local machine.

    Replace YOUR-USERNAME above with your GitHub username.

  • Add your contributions.
    Have a look at CONTRIBUTING.md. There are 3 easy ways to contribute to this project:

    • Add a "Hello, World!" program in any language you like.
    • Add your name to the CONTRIBUTORS.md file.
    • Add your profile page to the profiles directory.
  • Commit and push your changes.

git add -A 
git commit -m "Your commit message"
git push --set-upstream origin new-branch

The git add <file_name> command lets you add a file to the staging area. You can think of the staging area as a step before the commit process in git. As long as a changeset is in the staging area, git allows you to edit it as you like. The git add -A command however, finds all new and updated files everywhere throughout the project and add them to the staging area.

  • Inspecting a repository

git status

The git status command displays the state of the working directory and the staging area. It simply shows you what's been going on with git add and git commit.

git log

Using the git log command, you can view the entire commit history using the default formatting.
