Read the article about the project on hashnode: Develop Interview Winning Portfolio Porjects With MindsDB Predictions
This project is made under the circumstances of the MindsDB and Hashnode Hackathon. Find out more information about what the Hackathon is about and its evaluation criteria in the article Shape the future of Machine Learning.
This project aims to be a beginner friendly way to your first contribution to open source. If you are looking to make your first contribution, follow the steps below. (Demo image)
If you don't have git on your machine, install it. If you don't have node on your machine, install it.
Fork this repository by clicking on the fork button on the top of this page. This will create a copy of this repository in your account.
Now clone the forked repository to your machine. Go to your GitHub account, open the forked repository, click on the code button and then click the copy to clipboard icon. (Demo image)
Open a terminal, go to the directory where you want the project to be saved and run the following git command:
git clone "url you just copied"
where "url you just copied" (without the quotation marks) is the url to this repository (your fork of this project). See the previous steps to obtain the url. (Demo image)
For example:
git clone https://github.com/this-is-you/zero-minds.git
where this-is-you is your GitHub username. Here you're copying the contents of the dev-cv repository on GitHub to your computer.
Change to the repository directory on your computer (if you are not already there):
cd zero-minds
Open the project in Visual Studio Code (or your favorite code editor):
code .
Install the dependencies:
npm install
Run the project:
npm run dev
Now create a branch using the git checkout -b command:
git checkout -b your-new-branch-name
For example:
git checkout -b name-of-issue
If you go to the project directory and execute the command git status, you'll see there are changes. (Demo image)
Add those changes to the branch you just created using the git add command:
git add filename
Now commit those changes using the git commit command:
git commit -m "Name of issue"
There are different ways of writing a commit message. For more reference checkout the article about How to write a good commit message.
For this project we are going to use following style:
type-of-issue- + number-of-issue[action you took]
Practical example:
feature-11[Fix typo in README.md]
Push your changes using the command git push:
git push origin -u <add-your-branch-name>
replacing <add-your-branch-name> with the name of the branch you created earlier.
If you go to your repository on GitHub, you'll see a Compare & pull request button. Click on that button. (Demo image)
Now submit the pull request. (Demo image)
Soon I'll be merging all your changes into the master branch of this project. You will get a notification email once the changes have been merged.
Congrats! You just completed the standard fork -> clone -> edit -> pull request workflow that you'll encounter often as a contributor!
Celebrate your contribution and share it with your friends and followers on your social media accounts.
Now let's get you started with your next contribution, wether on this or any other great open source projects on GitHub.
Have fun 👻!
