A repo for complete beginners to get started with contributing in Open Source
You will modify this card according to your details and add this to the webpage.
- A fork would place a copy of this project in your GitHub Account
- Cloning the repository will place a local copy of project on your own machine
- Copy the URL from the copy to clipboard icon
- Open a terminal and run the following git command :
git clone https://github.com/<your-user-name>/WebDev-Hacktoberfest.git
- A branch is a way to keep your changes separate from the main part of the project called
Master. For example if things go wrong and you are not happy with your changes you can simply delete the branch and the main project won't be affected.
Change to the repository directory on your computer (if you are not already there):
cd WebDev-Hacktoberfest
Now create a branch using the git checkout command:
git checkout -b <your-name-profile-card>
(While the branch name can be anything we suggest you to keep it the way we mentioned.)
Open index.html. Make a copy of the card-template and modify it with your details.
Copy the exact portion given in the screenshot and paste it. Maintain a gap of 2-3 lines between the profile cards. Indentation should be kept in mind.
Modify the profile card with your information. If you execute the command git status, you'll see there are changes.
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 "<your-name> Profile Card Added"
Push your changes using the command git push origin <your-branch-name>
Go to your repository on GitHub, you'll see a Compare & pull request button. Click on it.
Now submit the pull request
Congrats! You have made your first contribution!
