Steps to follow 📜

1. Fork it 🍴

You can get your own fork/copy of AmbSQL by using the Fork button or clicking this.

Fork Button

2. Clone it 👥

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

git clone https://github.com/Your_Username/AmbSQL.git

This makes a local copy of repository in your machine.

Once you have cloned the AmbSQL repository in Github, move to that folder first using change directory command on linux and Mac.

# This will change directory to a folder AmbSQL
cd AmbSQL

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 :octocat:

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

Now, lets add a reference to the original AmbSQL repository using

git remote add upstream https://github.com/ambujraj/AmbSQL.git

This adds a new remote named upstream.

See the changes using

git remote -v
origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/AmbSQL.git (fetch)
origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/AmbSQL.git (push)
upstream  https://github.com/ambujraj/AmbSQL.git (fetch)
upstream  https://github.com/ambujraj/AmbSQL.git (push)

4. Sync it ♻️

Always keep your local copy of 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 `master` branch
git checkout master

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

# Push changes to your forked `AmbSQL` repo
git push origin master

5. Ready Steady Go... 🐢 🐇

Once you have completed these steps, you are ready to start contributing by checking our Open Issues and creating pull requests.

6. Create a new branch ‼️

Whenever you are going to make contribution. Please create seperate branch using command and keep your master branch clean (i.e. synced with remote branch).

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

Create a seperate branch for contibution and try to use same name of branch as of folder.

To switch to desired branch

# To switch from one folder to other
git checkout Branch_Name

To add the changes to the branch. Use

# To add all files to branch Folder_Name
git add .

Type in a message relevant for the code reveiwer using

# This message get associated with all files you have changed
git commit -m 'relevant message'

Now, Push your awesome work to your remote repository using

# To push your work to your remote repository
git push -u origin Branch_Name

Finally, go to your repository in browser and click on compare and pull requests. Then add a title and description to your pull request that explains your precious effort.
