### This repository aims to help code beginners with their first successful pull request and open source contribution. :partying_face:



:star: Feel free to use this project to make your first contribution to an open-source project on GitHub. Practice making your first pull request to a public repository before doing the real thing!



:star: Make sure to grab some cool swags during Hacktoberfest by getting involved in the open-source community.



### This repository is open to all members of the GitHub community. Any member can contribute to this project! :grin:

## What is Hacktoberfest? :thinking:



Hacktoberfest — brought to you by [DigitalOcean](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/) in partnership with [GitHub](https://github.blog/2017-09-27-celebrate-open-source-this-october-with-hacktoberfest/) and [Intel](https://www.intel.in/) — is a month-long celebration of open source software. Maintainers are invited to guide would-be contributors towards resolving issues that will help move the project forward, and contributors get the opportunity to give back to both projects they like, and ones they've just discovered. **No contribution is too small** — bug fixes and documentation updates are valid ways of participating. Celebrated every month of October based on the German festivity Oktoberfest.



Hacktoberfest is _open to everyone_ in the global community. Whether you’re a developer, student learning to code, event host, or company of any size, you can help drive growth of open source and make positive contributions to an [ever-growing community](https://github.com/open-source).



Visit the official website of [Hacktoberfest](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/).



## Rules :fire:



To qualify for the **official limited edition Hacktoberfest shirt**, you must register [here](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/) and make four Pull Requests (PRs) between October 1-31, 2021 (in any time zone). PRs can be made to any public repo on GitHub, not only the ones with issues labeled Hacktoberfest. This year, the **first 50,000** participants who complete the challenge will earn a T-shirt or [have a tree planted in their name](https://tree-nation.com/profile/digitalocean).

## Steps to follow :scroll:



### 0. Star the repo :star2:



Star the repo by pressing the topmost-right button to start your wonderful journey.



### 1. Fork it :fork_and_knife:



You can get your own fork/copy of [HacktoberFest_2021](https://github.com/chandrikadeb7/Hacktoberfest_2021) by using the Fork button or clicking [this](https://github.com/chandrikadeb7/Hacktoberfest_2021/new/master?readme=1#fork-destination-box) at top-right of your screen.



[![Fork Button](https://help.github.com/assets/images/help/repository/fork_button.jpg)](https://github.com/chandrikadeb7/Hacktoberfest_2021)



### 2. Clone it :busts_in_silhouette:



`NOTE: commands are to be executed on Linux, Mac, and Windows(using Powershell)`



You need to clone (download) it to local machine using



```sh

$ git clone https://github.com/Your_Username/Hacktoberfest_2021.git

```



> This makes a local copy of the repository in your machine.



Once you have cloned the `Hacktoberfest_2021` repository in Github, move to that folder first using change directory command on Linux, Mac, and Windows(PowerShell to be used).



```sh

# This will change directory to a folder Hacktoberfest_2021

$ cd Hacktoberfest_2021

```



Move to this folder for all other commands.



### 3. Set it up :arrow_up:



Run the following commands to see that _your local copy_ has a reference to _your forked remote repository_ in Github :octocat:



```sh

$ git remote -v

origin  https://github.com/Your_Username/Hacktoberfest_2021.git (fetch)

origin  https://github.com/Your_Username/Hacktoberfest_2021.git (push)

```



Now, let's add a reference to the original [Hacktoberfest_2021](https://github.com/chandrikadeb7/Hacktoberfest_2021/) repository using



```sh

$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/chandrikadeb7/Hacktoberfest_2021.git

```



> This adds a new remote named **_upstream_**.



See the changes using



```sh

$ git remote -v

origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/Hacktoberfest_2021.git (fetch)

origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/Hacktoberfest_2021.git (push)

upstream  https://github.com/Remote_Username/Hacktoberfest_2021.git (fetch)

upstream  https://github.com/Remote_Username/Hacktoberfest_2021.git (push)

```



`In your case, you will see`



```sh

$ git remote -V

origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/Hacktoberfest_2021.git (fetch)

origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/Hacktoberfest_2021.git (push)

upstream  https://github.com/chandrikadeb7/Hacktoberfest_2021.git (fetch)

upstream  https://github.com/chandrikadeb7/Hacktoberfest_2021.git (push)

```



### 4. Sync it :recycle:



Always keep your local copy of the repository updated with the original repository.

Before making any changes and/or in an appropriate interval, run the following commands _carefully_ to update your local repository.



```sh

# Fetch all remote repositories and delete any deleted remote branches

$ git fetch --all --prune



# Switch to `main` branch

$ git checkout main



# Reset local `main` branch to match the `upstream` repository's `main` branch

$ git reset --hard upstream/main



# Push changes to your forked `Hacktoberfest_2021` repo

$ git push origin main

```



### 5. Ready, steady, go... :turtle: :rabbit2:



Once you have completed these steps, you are ready to start contributing by checking our `Good First Issue` Issues and creating [pull requests](https://github.com/chandrikadeb7/Hacktoberfest_2021/pulls).



### 6. Create a new branch:bangbang:



Whenever you are going to contribute. Please create a separate branch using command and keep your `main` branch clean (i.e. synced with remote branch).



```sh

# It will create a new branch with name Branch_Name and switch to branch Folder_Name

$ git checkout -b BranchName

```



Create a separate branch for contribution and try to use the same name of the branch as of folder.



To switch to the desired branch



```sh

# To switch from one folder to other

$ git checkout BranchName

```



To add the changes to the branch. Use



```sh

# To add all files to branch Folder_Name

$ git add .

```



Type in a message relevant for the code reviewer using



```sh

# This message get associated with all files you have changed

$ git commit -m 'relevant message'

```



Now, Push your awesome work to your remote repository using



```sh

# To push your work to your remote repository

$ git push -u origin BranchName

```



Finally, go to your repository in the browser and click on `compare and pull requests`.

Then add a title and description to your pull request that explains your precious effort.
