Getting started⚡

Give this blog a read. Here i have written a 101 guide to VScode and helps while using GitHub

How to find issues⁉:-

• Learn some coding languages/frameworks. But in case you dont know, its still okay. you Can contribute and learn on the go

• find goood first issues here

                      OR
  

• You can also find Good first issues by Github Search.

paste this in the search is:open is:issue no:assignee label:"good first issue" archived:false

you can add additional parameter of language:<LANGUAGE_YOU_KNOW> example: is:open is:issue no:assignee label:"good first issue" archived:false language:html

How to get issues assigned🔗

In most organisations, you are welcome to find an issue and send PR directly, but that is not a good practice. I prefer simple workflow comment> commit> create PR

COMMENT:- comment on the issue of your interest and ask to be assigned for the issue. Issues are generally assigned on first-come-first-serve basis.

COMMIT:- fork the repo, make changes, and commit changes to new branch. But why a new branch? the reason is simple. Suppose you are working on multiple issues, it gives flexibility.

CREATE PR:- now, set your branch to the new branch that have the changes codes. Click on contribute, compare and send a PR.

⚠ A NOTE FOR PR.

kindly send a well documented PR and attach media whenever needed. If your PR solves an already exixting issue, in your PR description, mention that issue by writing #{issue_id}.Issue id can be found in issue itself

wait for the repo owners to review your PR, and if it does the job, it will be merged!🎉
