Why this repository?

Learning cipher algorithms and getting started with open source contribution are the two main ojectives of this repository.

Steps to get started and make your pull request...

1. FORK THE REPO Forking the repository(repo) makes a copy of someone else's project as your own to start working on it.

2.Clone To start coding and making changes in the repository, you need to have the project locally on your local machine.Use the command below to clone(download) the project.

$ git clone https://github.com/happycoder0011/CIPHER_DIARIES.git

Note: To clone in a particular folder, run the below command first then clone command.

cd folder_name

3.Enter project folder

cd CIPHER_DIARIES

4.Set Up to contribute Run the below command to check wether your local copy has the reference to the forked remote repository on github.

git remote -v 

You should get an output similar to

origin  https://github.com/Your_user_name/CIPHER_DIARIES.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/Your_user_name/CIPHER_DIARIES.git (push)

If not!! Check that you are in the right folder of the project. Otherwise fork again and reiterate the steps.

Add a reference to the original CIPHER_DIARIES repo:

git remote add upstream  https://github.com/happycoder0011/CIPHER_DIARIES.git

Check if it's added

git remote -v

You should get output as

origin  https://github.com/Your_user_name/CIPHER_DIARIES.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/Your_user_name/CIPHER_DIARIES.git (push)
upstream   https://github.com/happycoder0011/CIPHER_DIARIES.git (fetch)
upstream   https://github.com/happycoder0011/CIPHER_DIARIES.git (fetch)

Voila!!! Set up done.

Start by adding your files, codes and commit to your copy of the project.

Command to commit

git add .
git commit -m "commit message"
git push origin master

Note: You would be working on your local project. Always make sure to pull the repo before pushing your code to see the changes made by other contributors.

git pull

After you have successfully pushed your code on your remote copy(github) of the project. You can compare the branch with the original repo on github and make a pull request!
