Steps to follow 📜

0. Star The Repository 🌟

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

1. Fork it 🍴

You can get your own fork/copy of Python4 by using the Fork button.

2. Clone it 👥

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

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

$ git clone https://github.com/Coderich-Community/python4.git

This makes a local copy of the repository in your machine. Once you have cloned the python4 repository in Github, move to that folder first using change directory command on Linux, Mac, and Windows(PowerShell to be used).

# This will change directory to a folder python4
$ cd python4

Move to this folder for all other commands.

3. Set it up ⬆️

Run the following commands to see that your local copy has a reference to your forked remote repository in Github

$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/Your_Username/python4.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/Your_Username/python4.git (push)

Now, let's add a reference to the original Python-4 repository using

4. Sync it ♻️

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.

# 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 ` python4` repo
$ git push origin main

5. Create a new branch ‼️

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).

# 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

# To switch from one folder to other
$ git checkout BranchName

To add the changes to the branch. Use

# To add all files to branch Folder_Name
$ git add .

Type in a message relevant for the code reviewer using

# 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

# To push your work to your remote repository
$ git push -u origin BranchName

We will do our best to merge as much as possible from everyone. However, time is limited and the merge conflicts are horrible 😲 <3
