This repository is created for beginners (students) to learn how to contribute to open source projects on github by learning how to raise the Pull Request. (inspired from Syknapse's repositry)

1. Have a GitHub account (if not then you can refer to this to create your github account)
2. Have git installed on your local machine (if not you can download it from here)
3. Have a IDE/Text editor (If you use VS Code it comes with integrated Git and allows you to do what we need straight from the editor)

• Fork this repository

  • The objective here is to make a copy of this project and place it in your account.
  • Make sure you are on the main page of this repo.
  • Fork the repository by clicking on fork button seen in right corner of the screen (image)
  • 
  • You now have a complete copy of the project in your own account.

• Clone the repository

  • Now we want to make a local copy of the project. That is a copy saved on your own machine.
  • Open any folder where you want to clone the repository.
  • Then you can right click and select Git Bash here option
  • 
  • then type git clone yourlink and press enter
  • Replace yourlink with the link of your repository which you can get as shown in image below
  • 

• Create your branch

  • Then you will need to type cd Contribute-your-card and press enter to go to that folder/repo.
  • and type git checkout YourName-dev and press enter example: git checkout Atharva-dev
  • This will create a branch named "YourName-dev" and switch to that branch.

• Add your card

  • Once this all is done you can open the index.html file in your preferred IDE/Text Editor
  • and Copy the Template shown in the Image.
  • 
  • Paste it below the code shown in image by having one space between the above code.
  • (NOTE - YOUR CARD MUST BE ON THE TOP and BELOW THE TEMPLATE and COMMENTS)
  • 
  • Make the changes by adding your information to the card.
    • Replace name by Your name by your own name.
    • Roll no with your own roll no (your college roll no) (you can leave it blank if you dont have one)
    • Replace Class with your class followed by college name (example: SY MCA, MES IMCC) (you can leave it blank if you dont have one)
    • You can share your socials by modifying the below snippet which is present in template (You can add multiple socials by modifying <i class="fab fa-twitter"> with your desired social media (example : <i class="fab fa-linkedin">) ) -<p class="contact"> <i class="fab fa-twitter"></i> <a href="www.twitter.com" target="_blank">Your handle</a> </p>
    • Add your three favourite (programming) languages (by modifying the title and text)
    • Last Step would be modifying the start and end title with yourName i.e. <!-- ________ *TEMPLATE: MAKE A COPY* Contributor card START ________ --> <!-- ________*END TEMPLATE* Contributor card END ________ --> with your own name (example: <!-- ________ *Atharva's card START ________ --> <!-- ________ *Atharva's card END ________ -->).
  • SAVE THE FILE.

• Commit the changes

  • Go to the cmd (opened previously) or you can open new cmd with the location of your repository.
  • Check the branch by executing git branch you should see your branch with asterisk in front of it example :*YourName-dev
  • Which means the branch in which you are present is your.
  • Now type git add index.html and press enter which will add your file to staging area
  • Once that is done, to commit the file, type git commit -m "YourName's card added" and press enter.
