How to Contribute

1. Checkout a Branch

Before starting any work, ensure you're working on one of your own branches or a branch that you've been assigned to. To switch to a branch, run the following command in your terminal:

git checkout <branch-name>

If the branch doesn’t exist yet, create it:

git checkout -b <branch-name>

2. Make Changes (basically coding)

Implement your changes, bug fixes, or updates within the checked-out branch. Be sure to follow coding standards and project guidelines when contributing.

3. Commit Your Changes

After making changes, you need to stage and commit them. Make sure to use a meaningful and descriptive commit message to clearly explain what changes were made.

git add .
git commit -m "Your descriptive commit message"

4. Push the Branch to Origin

Once you're satisfied with your changes, push the branch to the remote repository on GitHub:

git push origin <branch-name>

5. Create a Pull Request (PR)

Go to the Best By Notification GitHub repository and create a pull request (PR) from your branch to the appropriate base branch (usually main).

1. Go to the Pull Requests tab.
2. Click on New Pull Request.
3. Choose your branch and the branch you want to merge into (e.g., main).
4. Add a description of the changes (along with images would be great) you made and submit the PR.

Once your pull request has been reviewed and approved by the maintainers, it will be merged into the main codebase.
