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.
Now clone the forked repository to your machine. Go to your GitHub account, open the forked repository, click on the clone button and then click the copy to clipboard icon.
Open a terminal(there is an integrated terminal in VSCODE,better use that) 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/this-is-you/first-contributions.git
where this-is-you is your GitHub username. Here you're copying the contents of the first-contributions repository on GitHub to your computer.
cd first-contributions
Now create a branch using the git checkout command:
git checkout -b <add-your-new-branch-name>
For example:
git checkout -b add-my-name
Now open main.js file in a text editor, add your details in a new object in the members in data. Now, save the file.
If you go to the project directory and 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 main.js
Now commit those changes using the git commit command:
git commit -m "Add <your-name> to members data"
replacing <your-name> with your name.
Push your changes using the command git push:
git push origin <add-your-branch-name>
If you go to your repository on GitHub, you'll see a Compare & pull request button. Click on that button.
Now submit the pull request.
Soon I'll be merging all your changes into the master branch of this project. You will get a notification email once the changes have been merged.
Congrats! You just completed the standard fork -> clone -> edit -> PR workflow that you'll encounter often as a contributor!
