1. Fork it 🍴

You can get your own fork/copy of HacktoberFest-2022 by using the Fork button.

2. Clone it 👥

NOTE: commands are to be executed on Linux, Mac, and Windows(using Powershell)

You need to clone or (download) it to local machine using

$ git clone https://github.com/Your_Username/hacktoberfest_2022.git

This makes a local copy of the repository in your machine.

Once you have cloned the Hacktoberfest-2022 repository in Github, move to that folder first using change directory command on Linux, Mac, and Windows(PowerShell to be used).

# This will change directory to a folder hacktoberfest_2022
$ cd hacktoberfest_2022

Move to this folder for all other commands.

3. Set it up ⬆️

Run the following commands to see that your local copy has a reference to your forked remote repository in Github

$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/Your_Username/hacktoberfest_2022.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/Your_Username/hacktoberfest_2022.git (push)

Now, let's add a reference to the original hacktoberfest_2022 repository using

$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/AayushBiswas/hacktoberfest_2022.git

This adds a new remote named upstream.

See the changes using

$ git remote -v
origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/hacktoberfest_2022.git (fetch)
origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/hacktoberfest_2022.git (push)
upstream  https://github.com/Remote_Username/hacktoberfest_2022.git (fetch)
upstream  https://github.com/Remote_Username/hacktoberfest_2022.git (push)

In your case, you will see

$ git remote -V
origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/hacktoberfest_2022.git (fetch)
origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/hacktoberfest_2022.git (push)
upstream  https://github.com/AayushBiswas/hacktoberfest_2022.git (fetch)
upstream  https://github.com/AayushBiswas/hacktoberfest_2022.git (push)

4. Sync it ♻️

Always keep your local copy of the repository updated with the original repository. Before making any changes and/or in an appropriate interval, run the following commands carefully to update your local repository.

# Fetch all remote repositories and delete any deleted remote branches
$ git fetch --all --prune

# Switch to `main` branch
$ git checkout main

# Reset local `main` branch to match the `upstream` repository's `main` branch
$ git reset --hard upstream/main

# Push changes to your forked `hacktoberfest_2022` repo
$ git push origin main

5. Ready Steady Go... 🐢 🐇

6. Create a new branch ‼️

Whenever you are going to contribute. Please create a separate branch using command and keep your main branch clean (i.e. synced with remote branch).

# It will create a new branch with name Branch_Name and switch to branch Folder_Name
$ git checkout -b BranchName

Create a separate branch for contribution and try to use the same name of the branch as of folder.

To switch to the desired branch

# To switch from one folder to other
