If you are looking to make your first contribution, follow the steps below.\n\nLearn to make your first Pull Request.\n\n## Hacktoberfest 2018\n\n###### Sign up for [Hacktoberfest2018](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/)\nSupport open source and earn a limited edition T-shirt. \n\n## Git\n\nSetting up Git.\n\n##### Ubuntu\n\n```\nsudo apt-get install git\n```\n\n##### Windows\n\n[Download Git for windows](https://git-scm.com/download/win)\n\nFollow the installer instructions to set up.\n\n##### Check if Git is installed and working\n\nOpen the Terminal (Ubuntu) or the Command Prompt (Windows) and run\n```\ngit\n```\n\n\u003cimg align=\"right\" width=\"300\" src=\"images/fork.png\" alt=\"fork this repository\" /\u003e\n\n## Pull request\n\nFork this repo by clicking on the fork button on the top of this page.\nThis will create a copy of this repository in your account.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n## Clone the repository\n\n\u003cimg align=\"right\" width=\"300\" src=\"images/clone.png\" alt=\"clone this repository\" /\u003e\n\nNow clone the forked repo to your machine. Go to your GitHub account, open the forked repo, click on the clone button and then click the *copy to clipboard* icon.\n\nOpen a terminal and run the following git command:\n\n```\ngit clone \"url you just copied\"\n```\nwhere \"url you just copied\" (without the quote marks) is the url to this repository (your fork of this project). See the previous steps to obtain the url.\n\n\u003cimg align=\"right\" width=\"300\" src=\"images/copy-to-clipboard.png\" alt=\"copy URL to clipboard\" /\u003e\n\nFor example:\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/this-is-you/first-contributions.git\n```\nwhere `this-is-you` is your GitHub username. Here you're copying the contents of the first-contributions repository in GitHub to your computer.\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```\nNow create a branch using the `git checkout` command:\n```\ngit checkout -b \u003cadd-your-new-branch-name\u003e\n```\n\nFor example:\n```\ngit checkout -b add-branch-name\n```\n(The 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## Make necessary changes and commit those 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\n\u003cimg align=\"right\" width=\"450\" src=\"images/git-status.png\" alt=\"git status\" /\u003e\n\n\nIf you go to the project directory and execute the command `git status`, you'll see there are changes.\n\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```\ngit commit -m \"Add \u003cyour-name\u003e to Contributors list\"\n```\nreplacing `\u003cyour-name\u003e` with your name.\n\n## Push changes to GitHub\n\nPush your changes using the command `git push`:\n```\ngit push origin \u003cadd-your-branch-name\u003e\n```\nreplacing `\u003cadd-your-branch-name\u003e` with the name of the branch you created earlier.\n\n## Submit your changes for review\n\nIf you go to this repository on GitHub, you'll see a  `Compare \u0026 pull request` button. Click on that button.\n\nMake sure that the pull request is made comparing the correct repository and the correct branches. Compare with the [master branch in this repository](https://github.com/nishnash54/Hacktoberfest-resources) to contribute your code to the `master branch`. \n\n\u003cimg style=\"float: right;\" src=\"images/compare-and-pull.png\" alt=\"create a pull request\" /\u003e\n\nNow submit the pull request.\n\n\u003cimg style=\"float: right;\" src=\"images/submit-pull-request.png\" alt=\"submit pull request\" /\u003e\n\nSoon 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.\n\n## Continue\n\n - [ ] Create a folder with your name.\n - [ ] Follow the same steps as mentioned above, \n - [ ] Add code into the folder, \n - [ ] Add the changes to the branch,\n - [ ] Commit the changes,\n - [ ] Push the changes to the branch and\n - [ ] Create a pull request\n\n ## Other projects\n\n In the same way, you can also contribute to other projects on GitHub.\n I have listed a few of the ones that aim to help beginners out with simple tasks for Hacktoberfest.\n\n  - [Hello-world](https://github.com/Hacktoberfest-2018/Hello-world)\n  - [first-contributions](https://github.com/firstcontributions/first-contributions)\n  - [lingonsaft-hacktoberfest](https://github.com/lingonsaft/hacktoberfest)\n  - [AliceWonderland-hacktoberfest](https://github.com/AliceWonderland/hacktoberfest)\n  - [Showndarya-Hacktoberfest](https://github.com/Showndarya/Hacktoberfest)\n\n## Progress\n\nAs you progress through contributions to open source projects, you can check your progress at [Hacktoberfest Stats](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/stats)","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnishnash54%2Fhacktoberfest-resources","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnishnash54%2Fhacktoberfest-resources","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnishnash54%2Fhacktoberfest-resources/lists"}
