Look for issues already submitted in the Issues tab, and comment "I want to work on this issue"
Wait till the owner of the repo assigns you the issue, and then your'e good to go
If you want to add solution for a problem of your choice, "Create a new issue, submit and comment to work on the issue"
Step One
Once you are assigned the issue, fork the repo to your profile 🍴 by clicking the Fork button on the top right corner
Clone the repo to your local machine: $ git clone "your forked repo URL" run the command in git bash on your PC/ Mac 💻
Go to the directory for the issue you're working on, then create a folder named on the programming lang. your solution is in (ex: Python) and copy your solution in that directory (for example, Searching & Sorting -> Cyclic Sort -> Python -> solution.py )
Add your name to the Contributors.md file
Step Two
After succesfully following the above steps, open Git Bash on your PC/ Mac.
Create a new branch by your Github username and checkout the branch: $ git checkout -b "username" (branch name should be your GitHub username strictly, Always try to make changes on a new branch rather than directly on the master branch, which can corrupt the codebase while working on some high profile, complicated program)
Add files changed: $ git add .
Commit the changes: $ git commit -m "commit message" (commit message should be meaningful and precise, example: git commit -m "added searching solution in Java")
Push the changes to make a successful PR: $ git push origin your-branch-name
That's it 🎉💥
