Installing an IDE

An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a software application that consolidates basic tools required for software testing and development. An IDE typically consists of a source code editor, build automation tools, and a debugger. Some IDEs, like Android Studio or Visual Studio, even offer more advanced features such as version control, databases, cloud services, and more. Why use an IDE? Using an IDE can significantly speed up the development process by offering a variety of tools and features under one roof.

Here are a few reasons why developers use IDEs:

Efficiency: With everything in one place, developers can write, test, and debug code without needing to switch between different tools.
Code Assistance: Many IDEs offer features like autocompletion, syntax highlighting, and suggestions, making the code-writing process smoother.
Integrated Debugging: Integrated debuggers allow developers to test and debug their programs within the IDE, speeding up the development cycle.
Extensions & Plugins: Most modern IDEs support a wide range of extensions and plugins, enabling developers to customize their environment and add even more functionalities.

We recommend using VS Code as your IDE for this project. It's free, open-source, and supports a wide range of languages and extensions. You can download it from the VS Code - Official website. However, if you prefer to use another IDE, that's fine too!

Instructions of how to install an IDE that suits for you can be found in our website at forkcommitmerge.io/ide!

Installing sqlite3

macOS and Linux:

SQLite comes pre-installed on macOS and most Linux distributions. To verify if sqlite3 is installed, you can open a terminal and type:

sqlite3 --version

If SQLite is installed, this will output the version number.

Windows:

To install SQLite on Windows:

Visit the SQLite download page.
In the "Precompiled Binaries for Windows" section, download the sqlite-tools-win32-x86-xxxxxx.zip file.
Unzip the downloaded file. It will create a directory named sqlite-tools-win32-x86-xxxxxx.
Move the directory to C:\ (or another location if you prefer) and rename it to sqlite.
Add C:\sqlite to your PATH environment variable.

To check whether SQLite has been installed successfully, open Terminal window and run:

sqlite3 --version

This should output the version number if SQLite is installed correctly.

Note that the terminal in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) uses your system's PATH, so once you've added SQLite to your PATH as described above, you'll be able to use SQLite in the VS Code terminal.

Setup Instructions

Fork this repository by clicking on the "Fork" button at the top-right corner of this page. This creates a copy of the repository in your GitHub account.

Clone your forked repository by clicking the "Code" button:

That will open this small window:

After that you can copy and paste the URL the to your local machine with the command:

git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/fork-commit-merge.git

Replace 'your-username' with your GitHub username.

Navigate to your project folder:

cd fork-commit-merge

Add a reference to the original repository for future updates:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/nikohoffren/fork-commit-merge.git

(Remember to keep here the original repository URL, not your forked one, so the username in this needs to be nikohoffren.)

Check the remotes for this repository:

git remote -v

You should now see the origin and upstream remotes listed.

Take a pull from the upstream repository to your main branch to keep it at par with the main project:

git pull upstream main

Create a new branch with the command:

git switch -c fix-issue

Now you are ready to start working on the issues! Remember every once in a while to pull from the upstream repository to keep your local repository up to date with the main project.

If you are not familiar about the contribution process, you can check out some useful videos in our website's Resources section: forkcommitmerge.io/resources.

Note: We recommend to always create new branch with each Issue you solve! Otherwise the pull requests will get too large and there could be possible merge conflicts.

Tasks

Note: These tasks will not count towards Hacktoberfest, since this repository is an educational repository, hence against the hacktoberfest guidelines.

We present over 110 several tasks for different languages, libraries and frameworks with varying difficulty. You can choose which task you want to work with and which difficulty you want to solve. You can also choose to solve multiple tasks if you want to. Just remember to create a new branch for each task you solve.

Firstly, open the tasks directory and select which language you want to work with by opening one of the following directories:

HTML
HTMX
CSS
SASS
Tailwind CSS
Bootstrap CSS
ReScript
CoffeeScript
JavaScript
JavaScript/Jest
JavaScript/Jasmine
TypeScript
TypeScript/Vitest
React
Next.js
Three.js
Vue.js
Svelte
Astro
Angular
Ember.js
GraphQL
Express.js
Electron.js
C
C++
C#
D
F#
Ada
Java
Kotlin
Scala
Groovy
Python
Flask
Django
Solidity
Vyper
Ruby
Rails
Elixir
Crystal
PHP
Laravel
Go
Dart
Flutter
Swift
Julia
Rust
Haskell
Lua
Clojure
OCaml
LaTeX
Lisp
Fortran
Pascal
COBOL
Erlang
Smalltalk
Zig
R
Nim
MATLAB
Octave
SQL
TLA+
Bash
Perl
ASM (Assembly)
JSON
YAML
TOML
XML
Markdown
Docker

Then you can open one of these directories to choose between three difficulties:

Easy
Medium
Hard

After that you are ready to get solving!

Go to the task you selected to get more info about the issue by clicking one of the following:

Tailwind CSS - Medium

Bootstrap CSS - Easy

Bootstrap CSS - Medium

ReScript - Easy

CoffeeScript - Easy

CoffeeScript - Medium

JavaScript - Easy

JavaScript - Medium

JavaScript/Jest - Medium

JavaScript/Jest - Hard

JavaScript/Jasmine - Easy

TypeScript - Easy

TypeScript - Medium

TypeScript - Hard

TypeScript/Vitest - Easy

ASM (Assembly) - Easy

Note: You don't have to ask a permission to start solving the issue or get assigned, since these issues are supposed to always be open for new contributors. You can just simply start working with the issue right away! Remember that in real world issues you would usually need to ask permission to get assigned to certain issue to prevent multiple people to working on the same issue at the same time, which would result some contributors wasting their time.

Submitting Your Changes

Once you've made the necessary changes requested in the task, you're ready to submit your changes!

Stage your changes with the command:

git add files-that-you-changed

Commit your changes with the command:

git commit -m "Fixed issue"

Push your changes to your forked repository with the command:

git push origin fix-issue

Once you've pushed your changes to GitHub, you're ready to create a pull request. Go to your forked repository on GitHub.

You should see text "fix-issue had recent pushes" (or whatever your branch name is) and button "Compare & pull request" next to it.

Click the "Compare & pull request" button to proceed to the pull request page of the original fork-commit-merge repository.
Fill in the title and description boxes to inform what you did in the task and how you got it to work. You can also add some additional information such as screenshots, if you want or if they are required in the task description.
Finally, click "Create pull request" to finish creating the pull request.

Congratulations on making your first open source contribution on GitHub!

Sit back and wait for a response and feedback of the pull request. If everything is working fine, you should get the pull request merged. If not, you will be requested to do some changes to your code.

Remember to wait for us to review your pull request, do not close it yourself.

After the merge, actions-user bot will reset the files for the next contributor.

All the contributors of this project will also be added to the List of Contributors in our website. In the website you can also find more information about the project, as well as your own contribution history for this project, if you login with your Github account.

Best Practices

Programming languages, despite their diverse syntax and underlying paradigms, universally emphasize the importance of adhering to best practices. These practices evolve over time, influenced by shared challenges faced by developers, innovations in the field, and the inherent features and limitations of the languages themselves. This section serves as a compass, guiding you through the idiomatic ways of coding in various languages, ensuring not only that your code works but also that it aligns with the conventions and norms of the community.

Why Follow Best Practices?

Readability: Code is read more often than it's written. Adopting best practices ensures your code remains accessible and comprehensible to other developers, or even to your future self!
Maintainability: Idiomatic code, by adhering to established patterns and standards, is easier to update, debug, and expand upon.
Performance: Often, best practices evolve in response to the understanding of a language's performance characteristics. Writing idiomatic code might also mean squeezing the best performance out of your programs.
Community Support: If you're writing code in the way that the broader community expects, you're more likely to receive help when you run into issues. Moreover, you can benefit from tools, linters, and extensions built with these practices in mind.
Reducing Errors: Many best practices are born from the lessons of countless debugged issues. By adhering to them, you’re sidestepping many pitfalls before they even occur.

In our Fork, Commit, Merge website, you'll find guides tailored to various languages, libraries and frameworks. Whether you're dabbling in a new language or revisiting a familiar one, these insights will help ensure your code is elegant, efficient, and effective.
