Description

The current CONTRIBUTING.md file is brief and lacks detailed information that can help potential contributors understand how to effectively contribute to the project. An update is needed to make it more engaging and informative.

Proposed Changes:

  1. Add More Detailed Guidelines: • Include sections on the types of contributions (features, bug fixes, documentation, etc.). • Provide a clear workflow from forking the repository to submitting a pull request.

  2. Create a Table of Contents: • Organize the document with a Table of Contents for easier navigation.

  3. Provide Examples: • Include examples of commit messages, pull requests, and branching strategies.

  4. Add Links to Resources: • Link to additional resources, such as coding standards, issue templates, and relevant documentation.

  5. Include a Code of Conduct: • Reinforce the importance of a welcoming community by including a Code of Conduct section.
