Hey!! Let’s get you started, shall we? Today, I will be explaining how you can contribute to this repo. I know it kind of looks hard the first time, but we are always looking forward to the challenge — that makes us hackers. Now, back to contributing to this repo or any other repository. I’m going to list a couple of important steps you’d have to take. Note: git is more extensive; we are only picking the important parts to get you started.
Steps
- Register and log in to your GitHub account (that should be easy).
-
The next thing we have to do is fork this repository. Forking, in this case, means making a copy of the repository in your personal account.
- After this you should see “300-days-of-hacking” on your list of repositories.
- Now you can make any changes you want to this repo (it’s yours now anyway). The changes should be constructive — meaning you are adding the description of the vulnerability you will be teaching us, and the resources you want us to refer to, according to the structure specified in the home README.
- After you are satisfied with the changes on your personal copy, you can send those changes to us to add to the original version by opening a pull request.
- That’s it — if you’ve made it this far, congratulations!! If your changes are accepted by cHowTV, your pull request will be merged and you are now an official contributor to 300-days-of-hacking!
