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).
