Hacktoberfest (Live Website) 
This is a beginner-friendly project to help you get started with your hacktoberfest. This repository is dedicated to help beginners step up and join hands with the open source community. Feel free to start contributing. There are no wrong contributions. If you don't know where to start, feel free to watch the videos linked below, and read the contribution rules. Happy hacking <3 !! By watching the video you will understand better about the working of hacktoberfest and how one will be able to create pull requests. (P.S: Star and share this repository, if you had fun!)
Contribution rules
- The project must work when opening index.html.
- You are allowed to make pull requests that break the rules. We just won't merge it ;).
- Do NOT add any build steps e.g npm install (we want to keep this a simple static site).
- Do NOT remove Videos, Rules, FAQ, or any other helpful content.
- Styling/code can be pretty, ugly or stupid, big or small as long as it works.
- Add your name to the contributors.html file.
- Try to keep pull requests small to minimize merge conflicts.
-
Fork this repo (button on top)
-
Clone on your local machine
git clone https://github.com/<your username>/hacktoberfest.git
cd hacktoberfest
- Create a new branch
git checkout -b my-new-branch
- Add your contributions
- Commit and push
git add .
git commit -m "your-commit-msg"
git push origin my-new-branch
- Create a new pull request from your forked repository
An easy way to avoid conflicts is to add an 'upstream' for your git repo, as other PR's may be merged while you're working on your branch/fork.
git remote add upstream https://github.com/lingonsaft/hacktoberfest
You can verify that the new remote has been added by typing:
git remote -v
To pull any new changes from your parent repo simply run:
git merge upstream/master
This will give you any eventual conflicts and allow you to easily solve them in your repo. It's a good idea to use it frequently in between your own commits to make sure that your repo is up to date with its parent.
