🚩 Creating a branch :

Whenever you want to contribute to any project. It is best practice that you should create a branch and push the branch as PR rather than directly pushing main/master branch

4. But still if you start editing the edits will go to the main branch. To change the path of the edits type in git checkout <your-branch-name>
5. Now you are ready to do the desired changes.

📌 Setting up .env file :

1. Create a new file .env in root directory.
2. Copy all the default content from .env.example file to .env file.
3. You can edit this .env file to provide your own project credentials if needed in future for specific tweaks and tests.

2. See the section about running tests for more information.

🚩 Building project :

1. Run the command npm run build
2. Builds the app for production to the build folder.\
3. It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
4. The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
   Your app is ready to be deployed!
5. See the section about deployment for more information.

4. Now push your branch to your fork by git push origin <your-branch-name> and hit enter.

📌 Creating a pull request
