If you would like to contribute code to the project, please follow these steps:

• Step 1: Fork the repo first

• Step 2: Go to your Git terminal and clone it on your machine.

  git clone https://github.com/<your_github_username>/UMatter.git
  

• Step 3: Add an upstream link to the main branch in your cloned repo

  git remote add upstream https://github.com/MonalikaPatnaik/UMatter.git
  

• Step 4: Keep your cloned repository up to date by pulling from upstream. This will help you avoid merge conflicts while committing new changes.

  git pull upstream main
  

• Step 5: Create your feature branch (This is a necessary step, so don't skip it)

  git checkout -b <feature-name>
  

• Step 6: Track and stage your changes.

   # Track the changes
   git status
  
   # Add changes to Index
   git add . or git add <file_name>
  

• Step 7: Commit your changes (Write commit message as "Small Message")

  git commit -m "Write a meaningful but small commit message"
  

• Step 8: Push the changes for review

  git push -u origin <branch-name>
  

• Step 9: Create a pull request on GitHub. (Don't just hit the create a pull request button; you must write a PR message to clarify why and what you are contributing).
