Run the following commands to see that your local copy has a reference to your forked remote repository in Github 
$ git remote -v
origin https://github.com/Your_Username/HacktoberFest_20.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/Your_Username/HacktoberFest_20.git (push)Now, let's add a reference to the original HacktoberFest_20 repository using
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/helios1101/HacktoberFest_20.gitThis adds a new remote named upstream.
See the changes using
$ git remote -v
origin https://github.com/Your_Username/HacktoberFest_20.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/Your_Username/HacktoberFest_20.git (push)
upstream https://github.com/Remote_Username/HacktoberFest_20.git (fetch)
upstream https://github.com/Remote_Username/HacktoberFest_20.git (push)In your case, you will see
$ git remote -V
origin https://github.com/Your_Username/HacktoberFest_20.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/Your_Username/HacktoberFest_20.git (push)
upstream https://github.com/helios1101/HacktoberFest_20.git (fetch)
upstream https://github.com/helios1101/HacktoberFest_20.git (push)Always keep your local copy of the repository updated with the original repository. Before making any changes and/or in an appropriate interval, run the following commands carefully to update your local repository.
# Fetch all remote repositories and delete any deleted remote branches
$ git fetch --all --prune
# Switch to `master` branch
$ git checkout master
# Reset local `master` branch to match the `upstream` repository's `master` branch
$ git reset --hard upstream/master
# Push changes to your forked `HacktoberFest_20` repo
$ git push origin masterOnce you have completed these steps, you are ready to start contributing by checking our Help Wanted Issues and creating pull requests.
Whenever you are going to contribute. Please create a separate branch using command and keep your master branch clean (i.e. synced with remote branch).
# It will create a new branch with name Branch_Name and switch to branch Folder_Name
$ git checkout -b BranchNameCreate a separate branch for contribution and try to use the same name of the branch as of folder.
To switch to the desired branch
# To switch from one folder to other
$ git checkout BranchNameTo add the changes to the branch. Use
# To add all files to branch Folder_Name
$ git add .Type in a message relevant for the code reviewer using
# This message get associated with all files you have changed
$ git commit -m 'relevant message'Now, Push your awesome work to your remote repository using
# To push your work to your remote repository
$ git push -u origin BranchNameFinally, go to your repository in the browser and click on compare and pull requests.
Then add a title and description to your pull request that explains your precious effort.
We love to have articles and codes in different languages and the betterment of existing ones.
Please discuss it with us first by creating a new issue.
