Hacktoberfest 2023 - Simple Todo List UI App (For Beginners)

Welcome to the Hacktoberfest 2023!! If you are an absolute beginner this Simple Todo List UI App project is for you only! This project is designed specifically for beginners who are new to contributing to open source. I remember my struggles last year when I was new and finding some beginner-friendly projects to work on. If you're a beginner too and somehow landed here make sure to read the Do's and Don't section properly before creating a Pull Request. We're excited to have you on board!

Introduction to Hacktoberfest

Hacktoberfest is an annual event encouraging participation in the open-source community. By contributing to open-source projects like this one, you can gain experience in the world of open-source contributions.

Getting Started

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Sohini3018/simple-todo-list-UI.git

Step 2: Create a New Branch

cd simple-todo-list-UI
git checkout -b your-branch-name

Step 3: Make Changes and Commit

Make your desired changes to the project, then commit them.

git add .
git commit -m "Your meaningful commit message"

Step 4: Push Changes

Avoiding Conflicts

To avoid conflicts, make sure to pull the latest changes from the main branch before making your own changes.

git checkout main
git pull origin main

Then switch back to your branch:

git checkout your-branch-name

Best Practices for Pull Requests (PRs)

• Branch Naming Convention: Use a descriptive name for your branch. For example, if you're fixing a bug related to the UI, you might name your branch fix-ui-bug.

• Meaningful Commit Messages: Write clear and descriptive commit messages. For example, instead of "Fixed a bug", you could write "Resolved issue with input validation".

• One Feature per Pull Request: Keep your changes focused. This makes it easier for maintainers to review and merge your PR.
