```ruby
git config --global user.name "username"

```

### Create a Branch
It is best practice to create a new branch. Run the following command in the terminal:
```ruby
git checkout -b anyname
```
### Open the name.md File
While still in the terminal, open the `name.md` file (located inside the opensource folder).

3. Run the following command to stage the changes:

```
4. Commit the changes with a descriptive message, using your username:
make sure to use **"commas "** after -m
```bash
git commit -m "added (your_github_username) in the name.txt"
```
#### Example:
```ruby
git commit -m "added (samadpls) in the name.txt"
```
5. Push the changes to the remote branch with the following command:
#### Finally
```ruby
git push origin -u your-branch-name
```
If the above command gives an error, run the following command instead:
```ruby
git config --global push.autoSetupRemote true
```
