Making Your First Contribution

Ready to get your hands dirty, Gian? 🙌 The first step is to create a pull request (PR) with your contributions. Think of a pull request as a way to propose changes to our codebase. We've made this process super simple, so don't sweat it! Before you submit your pull request, you’ll need to make sure you've followed these instructions. This guide will walk you through everything, so you know exactly what to do. If you haven't created a pull request yet, no worries! We have instructions for you to follow. Once your pull request is submitted, our team will review your work, provide feedback, and help you improve it. We want you to feel supported every step of the way. We aim to provide clear, actionable feedback to help you understand the changes needed. Collaboration is key, so we're here to help you navigate the process. We encourage you to ask questions, seek clarification, and engage in conversations with other contributors. We believe that this collaborative process is a great way to learn, grow, and improve your skills.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you get stuck or have questions. Our community is here to support you! We have resources to help you with anything that you don't fully understand. We encourage all members to engage with the community and embrace the spirit of collaboration, which is the cornerstone of our open-source projects. You're now a part of something big, and together, we can make this the best open-source community ever.

Your Contribution: The Pull Request 🚀

Once you’ve made your contributions, you’ll submit a pull request (PR). This is where the magic happens! Your PR is a proposal to add your changes to our main codebase. It’s a way for you to show the world what you’ve been working on and to get feedback from other developers. We want to ensure that your contributions align with our project's goals. When you submit your pull request, it will be reviewed by our team. They'll look at your code, provide feedback, and suggest any improvements that might be needed. We value the input of all contributors, and we encourage you to engage in a collaborative dialogue. This back-and-forth is how we refine our projects and build strong, maintainable code.

Where to Find the Link

To share your work, you'll need to provide a link to the pull request. Replace the placeholder with the actual link to your pull request. Make sure you've followed the instructions in the README before submitting. This includes guidelines on how to format your code, the type of contributions we need, and any other project-specific instructions. It's important to make it easy for our reviewers to understand your code and provide feedback. Ensure your code is well-documented, easy to read, and adheres to our project's coding standards. This will help us quickly assess your work and provide helpful feedback. Our goal is to make this process collaborative and supportive.

What Happens Next

Once your pull request is submitted, it will go through a review process. Our team will look at your code, provide feedback, and help you get it merged into the main branch. This process is designed to improve the quality of the code and provide you with valuable learning opportunities. We aim to ensure that the code is well-tested, secure, and adheres to our project's coding standards. We will provide detailed feedback, so you understand why changes were requested. Remember, the goal is to make open-source a fun and collaborative experience. We want to ensure that your contributions align with our project's goals and that you learn and grow along the way.

Instructions on Contributing 🛠️

To make sure you're ready to contribute, here’s a quick recap of the key steps:

  1. Read the README: Make sure you have a good understanding of our project.
  2. Find an Issue: Look for an open issue on our GitHub repository that you can tackle. If you can't find anything, you can create your own!
  3. Fork the Repository: Create your own copy of the repository.
  4. Create a Branch: Make a new branch for your changes.
  5. Make Your Changes: Write the code, test it, and make sure it’s up to our standards.
  6. Submit a Pull Request: Propose your changes and wait for review. Provide a link to your pull request.
  7. Collaborate and Iterate: Respond to feedback, and make any necessary changes.
  8. Get Merged: See your code become a part of our project! 🎉

Detailed Steps for the First-Timers!

For those of you who might be new to this, don’t worry! We will guide you. Firstly, you need to read the README file in the main repository. This file contains important information about the project, its goals, and contribution guidelines. It also outlines the coding standards, style guidelines, and the technologies used in the project. If you're looking for an issue to resolve, look for the 'good first issue' tag, or anything that you think you can manage. You can then fork the main repository. Forking creates a copy of the repository in your own GitHub account. This is where you can work on your changes without affecting the original project. Then, you can create a branch. This will allow you to isolate your changes and work on them separately. This is a very common practice in open source and a good way to organize your work. And finally, when you are ready, you can submit your pull request. Ensure that you follow the guidelines and include the requested information. This will allow us to easily understand your changes and review your code.
