  2. You now have this repo in your GitHub account. You must be able to see it at github.com/your-github-username/hacktoberfest-2023. You can clone the repository.

  3. Go ahead and clone this repository from your account to your PC. Make sure you have Git installed on your PC. Use the command git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/hacktoberfest-2023 to clone the repository.

  4. Open the cloned directory using your system's file manager. You must see a folder called contributions. Go inside the folder using the commmand cd contributions. Inside this folder, you must create an HTML file named <name>.html where you replace *name with your name. Copy the HTML code shown below and paste it in the file with an image link which is possibly your GitHub profile picture and add your name and message in the respective places.

    <div class="card">
    <img src="your_github_profile_link" alt="Image" >
    <div>
        <p class="name">NAME : <b class="name1" style="color: #d2b863">Your_Name</b></p>
        <p class="message">MESSAGE : <b class="message1" style="color: #d2b863">My First PR</b></p>
    </div>

    • Login to your GitHub account and click on the profile icon which appears at the leftmost side of the page.

  5. After doing all these, save the file and close the editor.

  6. Now commit your changes by following the below steps:

    • Open the terminal/command prompt inside the cloned folder.
    • Run git add . to stage the file for committing.
    • Let's commit! Run git commit -m "Your commit message". Get creative with your commit message. You can follow the below format:
      • "[your name]: Add me as a contributor"
      • For instance: "[Hemanth]: Add me as a contributor"
    • Now let's get these changes to your GitHub repo. Run git push origin main.

  7. You are almost done! Now head over to the original repository from which you forked and click on Pull Requests.
