💥 How to Contribute

PR Welcome

  • Take a look at the existing Issues or create a new issue!
  • Fork the Repo. Then, create a branch for any issue that you are working on. Finally, commit your work.
  • Create a Pull Request (PR), which will be promptly reviewed and given suggestions for improvements by the community.
  • Add screenshots or screen captures to your Pull Request to help us understand the effects of the changes proposed in your PR.

⭐ HOW TO MAKE A PULL REQUEST:

1. Start by making a Fork of the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-Game repository. Click on the Fork symbol at the top right corner.

2. Clone your new fork of the repository in the terminal/CLI on your computer with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-Game

3. Navigate to the newly created seeit project directory:

cd Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-Game

4. Set upstream command:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/KendallDoesCoding/Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-Game.git

5. Create a new branch:

git checkout -b YourBranchName

6. Sync your fork or your local repository with the origin repository:

  • In your forked repository, click on "Fetch upstream"
  • Click "Fetch and merge"

Alternatively, Git CLI way to Sync forked repository with origin repository:

git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/main

Github Docs for Syncing

7. Make your changes to the source code.

8. Stage your changes:

⚠️ Make sure not to commit package.json or package-lock.json file

⚠️ Make sure not to run the commands git add . or git add *

Instead, stage your changes for each file/folder

By using public path it means it will add all files and folders under that folder, it is better to be specific

git add public

or

git add "<files_you_have_changed>"

9. Commit your changes:

git commit -m "<your_commit_message>"

10. Push your local commits to the remote repository:

git push origin YourBranchName

11. Create a Pull Request!

12. Congratulations! You've made your first contribution to Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-Game! 🙌🏼

Style Guide for Git Commit Messages 📝

How you can add more value to your contribution logs:

  • Use the present tense. (Example: "Add feature" instead of "Added feature")
  • Use the imperative mood. (Example: "Move item to...", instead of "Moves item to...")
  • Limit the first line (also called the Subject Line) to 50 characters or less.
  • Capitalize the Subject Line.
  • Separate subject from body with a blank line.
  • Do not end the subject line with a period.
  • Wrap the body at 72 characters.
  • Use the body to explain the what, why, vs, and how.
  • Reference Issues and Pull Requests liberally after the first line.
