If you are looking to make your first contribution, follow the steps below:\n\nIf you're not comfortable with command line, [here are tutorials using GUI tools](tutorials-using-other-tools).\n\nIf you don't have git on your machine, [install it](https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git).\n\n---\n\n## Fork the Repository\n\nFork 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.\n\n\u003cimg align=\"right\" width=\"300\" src=\"https://github.com/MSCKIIT/first-contributions/blob/main/.github/assets/README/fork.png\" alt=\"Fork the Repository\"/\u003e\n\n---\n\n## Clone the Repository\n\nClone the forked repository to your machine. Go to your GitHub account, open the forked repository, click on the `Code` button and then click the `Copy to Clipboard` icon.\n\n\u003cimg align=\"right\" width=\"300\" src=\"https://github.com/MSCKIIT/first-contributions/blob/main/.github/assets/README/clone.png\" alt=\"Clone the Repository\"/\u003e\n\nOpen a terminal and run the following git command:\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/\u003cyour_username\u003e/MSCxHacktoberfest.git\n```\n\n\u003cimg align=\"right\" width=\"300\" src=\"https://github.com/MSCKIIT/first-contributions/blob/main/.github/assets/README/copy-url.png\" alt=\"Copy URL to Clipboard\"/\u003e\n\n---\n\n## Create a Branch\n\nChange to the repository directory on your computer (if you are not already there):\n\n```\ncd first-contributions\n```\n\nNow create a branch using the `git checkout` command:\n\n```\ngit checkout -b your-new-branch-name\n```\n\nFor example:\n\n```\ngit checkout -b add-msc-kiit\n```\n\nThe name of the branch does not need to have the word _add_ in it, but it's a reasonable thing to include because the purpose of this branch is to add your name to a list.\n\n---\n\n## Make Necessary Changes and Commit the Changes\n\nNow open `CONTRIBUTORS.md` file in a text editor, add your name to it. Don't add it at the beginning or end of the file. Put it anywhere in between. Now, save the file.\n\nIf you go to the project directory and execute the command `git status`, you'll see there are changes.\n\nAdd those changes to the branch you just created using the `git add` command:\n\n```\ngit add CONTRIBUTORS.md\n```\n\nNow commit those changes using the `git commit` command:\n\n```\ngit commit -m \"Add \u003cyour-name\u003e to Contributors' List\"\n```\n\nBy replacing `\u003cyour-name\u003e` with your full name.\n\n---\n\n## Push Changes to GitHub\n\nPush your changes using the command `git push`:\n\n```\ngit push origin \u003cadd-your-branch-name\u003e\n```\n\nBy replacing `\u003cadd-your-branch-name\u003e` with the name of the branch you created earlier.\n\n---\n\n## Submit Your Changes for Review\n\nIf you go to your repository on GitHub, you'll see a `Compare \u0026 pull request` button. Click on that button.\n\nNow submit the pull request.\n\nSoon all your changes will be merged into the master branch of this project. You will also get a notification e-mail once the changes have been merged.\n\n---\n\n## Where to Go from Here?\n\nCongrats! You just completed the standard _fork -\u003e clone -\u003e edit -\u003e pull request_ workflow that you'll encounter often as a contributor.\n\nNow let's get you started with contributing to other projects. We've compiled a list of projects with easy issues you can get started on.
