Even if you're not interested, Git is a skill which is very necessary in the life of a Software Developer and the earlier you learn it, the better.
Also, did I mention the Hacktoberfest swags?
Learnt a new algorithm or data structure? Create its template and push the code.
Learning a new domain like Web, Android or ML? Create a project and push it.
Have a great project lined up and looking for more contributors? Push it and count us in!
Fork this repository and make changes in code as required. You can change it online or by cloning it in your device. Then Pust it on your Forked Repo for furteher Actions. Do not use special characters in the template above.
You have written some code in your branch, and are ready to commit. So, make sure to written good, clean commit messages. Let's review the anatomy of a commit message.
---
First line, no more than 50 characters
Details section, as long as you want. Not always necessary, but
available if you need it. Wrapped at 72 characters. Present imperative
tense is preferred for commits. That means "fix bug", not "fixes bug" or
"fixed bug".
- Use bullets if you need
- Bullets are a good way to summarize a few things
If you have too much info here, it might be a good candidate to break
down into multiple commits. You can use emoji here too :sparkles:

Go through the checklist on the pull request template to guarantee your submission is valid. Our team will review your application, approve and merge your submission if everything is correct. Otherwise, you will get notified of the changes requested in the pull request comment section.
Note: Don't Forget to add hacktoberfest-accepted Label.
