After you're assigned a task, you can follow these steps to ensure contribution to the project :

1. Understand the Task:

• Carefully read the issue or task description to understand what needs to be done. Check for any comments or additional information that might help clarify the requirements.
• If there's any ambiguity, don't hesitate to ask the project maintainers or mentors for clarification. It's better to ask questions early than to go down the wrong path.

2. Fork the Repository:

• You can search it on YouTube how to Fork a repository if you don't know.

3. Set Up Your Development Environment:

• Follow the project's setup instructions to clone the repository, install dependencies, and get the project running on your local machine.

4. Start Working on the Task:

• Implement the changes or fix the issue as required by the task like coding, testing, or updating documentation etc.

5. Test Your Changes:

• Thoroughly test your changes to ensure they work as expected and don't introduce new issues.

6. Commit Your Changes:

• Once you're satisfied with your work, commit your changes to the branch. Write a clear commit message that describes what you've done and why.

7. Do a Pull Request (PR):

• Create a pull request from your branch to the main project repository. In the PR description, explain what changes you've made, why they're needed, and how you implemented them.

8. Look for Review and Feedback:

• After opening the PR, be responsive to feedback. You might be asked to make adjustments or clarify certain aspects of your changes.

Once your PR is approved and merged, time to celebrate! You've contributed to an open-source project.
Keep It Up.
Hope that it is helpful

Once you've been assigned a task in GitHub, here are the general steps you should follow:

Understand the Task: Make sure you fully understand what the task entails. Read any associated documentation or comments to clarify any doubts.
Branch Creation: Create a new branch for the task. Branch names often follow a convention, such as -short-description, where the issue number corresponds to the GitHub issue associated with the task.
Code Changes: Make the necessary changes to fulfill the task requirements. This might involve writing new code, modifying existing code, or updating documentation.
Commit Changes: Commit your changes to the branch. It's good practice to make small, focused commits with clear and descriptive commit messages.
Push Changes: Push your branch to the remote repository on GitHub.
Create Pull Request: Once your changes are ready, create a pull request (PR) from your branch to the main branch (often master or main). In the PR description, provide details about the changes you've made and how they address the assigned task.
Review Process: Your PR will undergo a review process where other team members will provide feedback on your code changes. Address any feedback or requested changes promptly.
Continuous Integration (CI): If there's a CI system in place, it will automatically run tests against your changes. Ensure all tests pass successfully.
Approval and Merge: Once your PR has received approval from the required reviewers and passes all checks, it can be merged into the main branch.
Cleanup: After the PR is merged, delete your feature branch (unless there's a specific reason to keep it). This helps keep the repository clean.
Update Task Status: If your team is using GitHub issues or a project management tool integrated with GitHub, update the status of the assigned task to reflect that it's completed.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage and contribute to projects on GitHub.
