Challenge 23 ✅

What needs to be done for effective open source contribution, especially with respect to open source issue creation, best practices around branch/pull request creation ?😕

When we say contributing to open-source, it does not necesarilly mean that you need to know how to code. There are different ways in which you can contribute even if you are a non-coder – but having some coding skills will help you (and the projects) out a lot.

Some common contributions can be through:

• Adding a description to a project's documentation to elaborate on a certain point, mostly referred to as a README file
• Giving guidance on a specific project and how to use it.
• Adding sample output to show how the code works.
• Writing in-depth tutorials for the project.

---

Create a new issue

If you spot a problem with the docs, search if an issue already exists. If a related issue doesn't exist, you can open a new issue using a relevant issue form. Issues available for community contribution: The following tags mark issues that are open for community contribution: help wanted: Open to participation from the community but not necessarily beginner-friendly good first issue: Open to participation from the community and friendly towards new contributors

The following tags mark issues that are not open for community contribution: 🚧 status: blocked: Blocked by other work that needs to be done first 🧹 status: ticket work required: Needs additional work before it is ready to be taken up 🚦 status: awaiting triage: Has not been triaged by a maintainer

---

Git Branching Naming

The Git branching model is powerful, but you need to manage the branches correctly and effectively.

1. Start branch name with a Group word bug-logo-alignment-issue – the developer is trying to fix the logo alignment issue; wip-ioc-container-added – the branch relates to the task to add an IoC container in progress.

2. Use Hyphen or Slash as Separators eg - feature_upgrade

3.Git Branch with Author Name Many companies prefer to add authors’ names into the branch names according to the format below:

<author>_<branch-type>_<branch-name>

4.Avoid using numbers only 5.Avoid long descriptive names for long-lived branches

---

Pull Request

A clear, well-built PR is an essential part of a collaborative workflow, and through pairing 1.Give your feature branch a clear name 2.Give your commits and PRs active and descriptive titles For both commit messages and PR titles, it's a good idea to use the present imperative tense — for example, use “Fix dashboard typo” instead of “Fixed” or “Fixes.”

Others Practices

• Using the command line: Fork the repo so that you can make your changes without affecting the original project until you're ready to merge them.
• Always Use an Authorized Email to Commit Code and with Sign-off.
• Create a Meaningful .gitignore File.
• Add meaningful description in PR
