This project is super simple and begginer friendly to allow everyone to start to contribute to an open source project.
For this tutorial you can either do it directly on GitHub or you can use the Command Line.
If you don't have git on your machine, you can install it.
If you prefer to do it on GitHub, check Introduction to GitHub
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.
Git clone allows you to copying the contents of the Resources repository on GitHub to your computer.
❕Note: If you are not using the command line, go to step 3
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_github_username_here>/Resources
Don't forget to change <your_github_username_here> to your GitHub username.
Change to the repository directory on your computer:
cd Resources
Now create a branch using the git checkout command:
git checkout -b your-new-branch-name
For example:
git checkout -b adding-ada-lovelace
(You can start the name of the branch with adding , to be more consistent)
Alternatively, you can also create a branch directly on your GitHub repository
Now open Resources.md file in a text editor and add the content you want to add to the file, in the required fields or create your new.
Example:
[Mónica Fidalgo - Vue|React Developer](https://github.com/MonicaFidalgo/)
To check if your changes are being tracked you can type git status, and you'll see if there are any changes.
If so, add those changes to the branch you just created using the git add command:
git add Resources.md
Now commit those changes using the git commit command:
git commit -m "Add your commit message"
Alternatively, you can edit the file on GitHub itself
And then commit the changes
The git push command is used to upload local repository content to a remote repository.
❕Note: If you are not using the command line, go to step 6
Push your computer local changes using the command git push:
git push origin <add-your-branch-name>
replacing <add-your-branch-name> with the name of the branch you created earlier.
Go now to the main repository on GitHub, you should be able to see something similar
Now you can create a pr, by adding a description and then submit the pull request. You can also check the changes that you did on the bottom, the before and the after
After that, I will check your pr and merge it to the main branch!
