Challenge 23

Open source contribution guidelines:

For branch:

• Branches are mostly of two types - regular (main, dev and QA) & temporary branches (bug fix, feature).
• Start branch name with a Group word like bug/WIP.
• Use unique issue IDs in branch names.
• Use Hyphen or Slash as Separators.
• Add Author Initials to branch.
• Avoid long descriptive names for branches.
• An example: ds-fix-buffer-overflow

For issue:

• Use labels to search issue that you can solve.
• Comment on it and say you're working on that issue to avoid conflicts with others working on that issue.
• If you want to work on something for which there is no issue present, then create a new issue with relevant details.
• Once new issue has been approved, start contributing.

For pull requests:

• Read guidelines in CONTRIBUTING.md
• Give your commits and PRs descriptive titles.
• Commit early and push often. Mark PR as WIP or create a draft PR.
• Describe your PR in detail and link it to issue and issue author.
• Show your functionality visually, whenever possible by adding screenshots.
• Review your PR, run your tests and lint your code.
