git clone https://github.com/fineanmol/Hacktoberfest2021.git

• Navigate to project directory.

cd Hacktoberfest2021

• Create a new Branch

git checkout -b my-new-branch

• Add your contribution

git add .

• Commit your changes.

git commit -m "Relevant message"

• Then push

git push origin my-new-branch

• Create a new pull request from your forked repository

An easy way to avoid conflicts is to add an 'upstream' for your git repo, as other PR's may be merged while you're working on your branch/fork.

git remote add upstream https://github.com/fineanmol/Hacktoberfest2021

You can verify that the new remote has been added by typing

git remote -v

To pull any new changes from your parent repo simply run

git merge upstream/master

This will give you any eventual conflicts and allow you to easily solve them in your repo. It's a good idea to use it frequently in between your own commits to make sure that your repo is up to date with its parent.
