10 | What did I just do?
11 |
12 |
13 |
14 | Step 1: Fork the Repository
15 |
16 |
17 |
18 | Forking a repository means creating a personal copy of someone
19 | else's project on GitHub. It allows you to freely make
20 | changes without affecting the original repository.
21 |
22 |
23 |
24 |
25 | By forking the repository, you'll have your own version of
26 | the project under your GitHub account, which you can modify and
27 | contribute to.
28 |
29 |
30 |
31 |
32 |
33 | Step 2: Clone the Repository
34 |
35 |
36 |
37 | Cloning a repository means creating a local copy of the repository
38 | on your own machine.
39 |
40 |
41 |
42 |
43 | Cloning is necessary because it allows you to work on the project
44 | locally, make changes, and test them before submitting them as a
45 | pull request.
46 |
47 |
48 |
49 |
50 | The
51 | {"'git clone'"}
52 | command fetches the entire repository from GitHub and creates a
53 | local copy on your computer.
54 |
55 |
56 |
57 |
58 |
59 | Step 3: Create a New Branch
60 |
61 |
62 |
63 |
64 | A branch is a parallel version of the codebase within the
65 | repository. It allows you to work on separate features or changes
66 | without affecting the main branch.
67 |
68 |
69 |
70 |
71 | Creating a new branch is important to keep your changes isolated
72 | and organized.
73 |
74 |
75 |
76 |
77 | The
78 | {"'git branch'"}
79 | command creates a new branch, and
80 | {"'git checkout'"}
81 | command allows you to switch to that newly created branch.
82 |
83 |
84 |
85 |
86 |
87 | Step 4: Make Your Changes
88 |
89 |
90 |
91 | This step involves modifying the code or adding new content to the
92 | project according to the task or contribution you want to make.
93 |
94 |
95 |
96 |
97 | In this specific case, you are adding your profile details to the
98 | {"'data.json'"}
99 | file, following the given format.
100 |
101 |
102 |
103 |
104 |
105 | Step 5: Stage and Commit Your Changes
106 |
107 |
108 |
109 | Before committing your changes, you need to stage them. Staging
110 | means selecting the specific changes you want to include in the
111 | next commit.
112 |
113 |
114 |
115 |
116 | The{"'git add'"}
117 | command stages the modified file,
118 |
119 | {"'src/components/data.json'"}
120 |
121 | , to be included in the commit.
122 |
123 |
124 |
125 |
126 | Committing means saving your changes with a descriptive message
127 | indicating what you've done.
128 |
129 |
130 |
131 |
132 | The
133 | {"'git commit'"}
134 | command is used to create a commit with a meaningful message.
135 |
136 |
{" "}
137 |
138 |
139 |
140 | Step 6: Push the Changes
141 |
142 |
143 |
144 | Pushing your changes means uploading your local commits to your
145 | forked repository on GitHub.
146 |
147 |
148 |
149 |
150 | By using the
151 | {"'git push'"}
152 | command, you send your branch with the committed changes to your
153 | GitHub repository.
154 |
155 |
156 |
157 |
158 |
159 | Step 7: Create the Pull Request
160 |
161 |
162 |
163 | A pull request is a way to propose your changes to the original
164 | repository owner for review and potential inclusion in the main
165 | project.
166 |
167 |
168 |
169 |
170 | By creating a pull request, you're asking the repository
171 | owner to consider your changes and merge them into the main
172 | branch.
173 |
174 |
175 |
176 |
177 | The pull request page allows you to review the changes you've
178 | made and provide additional information or comments about your
179 | contribution.
180 |
181 |
182 |
183 |
184 | Once the pull request is created, the repository owner can review
185 | and provide feedback or merge your changes into the main branch.
186 |
187 |
188 |
189 |
190 |
191 | I hope this provides a clear explanation of each step and their
192 | significance in the pull request process!
