Introduction:

Contribution to Open Source Projects is a great way to enhanching your coding skills and along with expanding your knowledge on the new technologies. But top of that contributing to Open Source Projects is FUN.The joy of the first time when your pull request gets accepted is amazing. Which you are going to find today by contributing to this project.

What we are gonna do :

So in this project you are going to create a bootstrap card of yourself by filling up some given things which we will talk later. But for now lets get straight into work.

Prerequisite :

• install nodejs on your local machine globally.

Steps :

1. Fork this repo.

2. Clone your forked repo on anywhere on your laptop/computer .And how we do that : git clone URL

3. Now go that project folder and open it with your favorite IDE. I am using Visual Studio Code for this project.

• Currently the file structure would look like this.

• Now click on the views folder and open up the index.ejs file.

• Then look for the card template with the comment on above saying

  <!--Copy these code below and Paste it right Above this comment "-->

• Now copy that card template code paste in right above the comment line.

• Cool and now just do these specific things
  • Write Your name on the first 'h5' tag.
  • Write the name of your place where you live on the 'h6' tag.
  • Then replace the 'li' tags with 3 technologies that you are currently learning.
  • Then on the two last 'a' tags add your github and twitter profile links on the 'href' attributes respectively.
  • DONE with the card thing.

4. Lets create a new remote branch and push our modified remote repo to our github repo. follow me :
   • git checkout -b <BranchName> [ex : git checkout -b myCard]
   • git add .[don't forget the dot '.' in the end]
   • git commit -m "Add YOURNAME's card"[ex: git commit -m "Rocktim's card"]
   • git push -u origin <Branchname> [ex : git push -u origin myCard]
   • DONE HERE ,Lets go to our github repo of this project
