Contributing to Any Project on the Internet 🚀

Welcome to the simplest guide on how to contribute to any project. This guide will walk you through the process of making your first contribution. The best part is, you don't need to worry about installing anything like Git, Node.js, or Python.

Getting Started 🚀

1. Fork the Repository 🍴

2. Create a Gitpod/Codespace 🚀

OR

• Wait for 1 minute ⏳.

• Follow the necessary instructions for running the project in README.md or CONTRIBUTING.md.

  Note: Repositories like this make it even easier for contributors as they don't have to worry about running the project or navigating the repo. If you don't know what .devcontainer is, don't worry; I will explain it to you in a simple way. 📝

  The code within this .devcontainer will handle everything, from installing dependencies to configuring and then running it on the local host. 🛠️

Making Changes 🛠️

3. Create a Feature Branch 🌿

4. Start Hacking! 💡

Make the necessary changes for the feature or bug fix you want to implement. 🚧

5. Commit Your Changes 💾

Contributing 🤝

6. Create a Pull Request 📥

You can create a pull request from VS code itself, but I don't suggest that. 📦

Open the Feature Branch GitHub page and Click Compare & pull request button. 🚀

If you don't see the above option, you can click "Contribute"; this will present you with an option to create the same pull request. 📤

Mention the issue number in the description if your pull request addresses a specific issue. 📝

Feedback and Completion 🚀

7. Wait for Review 🕒

8. Respond to Feedback 📣

If the owner or maintainer requests changes, make them in the same branch and commit. No need to create a new pull request this time. 🔄

9. Hurray! You've made your first contribution. 🎉

Bonus Tip 💡

If you prefer not to work in the browser-based VS Code, you can open the command palette [Ctrl + Shift + P] and search for "open in."

Note: It takes around 1-1.5 minutes to fully load the repository on VS Code desktop. ⏳
