How to Contribute

Contributing to this project is a simple, three-step process. Follow these instructions carefully to get your pull request merged and count towards your Hacktoberfest goals!

---

Step 1: Create Your Profile Card Locally

1. Fork the Repository

   • Click the "Fork" button at the top right of this page to create your own copy of this project.

2. Clone Your Fork

   • Clone your forked repository to your local machine. Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your GitHub username.

   git clone [https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/Hacktoberfest2025.git](https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/Hacktoberfest2025.git)
   cd Hacktoberfest2025

3. Create Your Folder

   • Navigate to the profiles directory.
   • Inside this folder, create a new folder named with your GitHub username. (e.g., profiles/dsawithaditi). This is where all your files will go.

4. Set Up the File Structure

   • Inside your [your_username] folder, create the following file structure:

   your_username/
   ├── assets/
   │   └── images/
   ├── css/
   │   └── style.css
   ├── js/
   │   └── main.js  (Optional: for animations)
   └── index.html
   

5. Build Your Profile Card

   • Now, get creative! Code your unique developer profile card within the files you just created. Make it your own—add your picture, links, skills, and style. Make sure it's a self-contained project that runs from your index.html.

Step 2: Deploy Your Profile Card to Netlify

To showcase your work, you need to deploy only your profile card's folder to Netlify for a live preview.

1. Log in to Netlify:

   • Go to netlify.com and log in or sign up.

2. Deploy Manually:

   • From your Netlify dashboard, click on "Add new site" and select "Deploy manually".
   • Drag and drop your username folder (e.g., the dsawithaditi folder, not the entire Hacktoberfest2025 project) into the upload area.

3. Configure Your Site:

   • Once uploaded, go to the site settings. Click "Change site name" and give your project a unique name.
   • Copy the live URL of your project (e.g., aditi-profile-card.netlify.app).

Step 3: Add Your Details and Create a Pull Request

1. Update contributors.json:

   • Open the contributors.json file in the root of the main project.
   • Add a new JSON object with your details at the end of the list.
   • Add a tags array to help categorize your card. Please add 3-4 relevant tags that describe your design's style or features.

   Example format:

   {
     "name": "Aditi",
     "occupation": "Full-Stack Developer",
     "place": "Delhi, India",
     "bio": "Building beautiful things for the web!",
     "github_profile_url": "[https://github.com/dsawithaditi](https://github.com/dsawithaditi)",
     "project_netlify_link": "[https://aditi-profile-card.netlify.app](https://aditi-profile-card.netlify.app)",
     "tags": ["minimalist", "animation", "dark-theme"]
   }

   Good tag examples: minimalist, retro, glassmorphism, neumorphism, dark-theme, light-theme, animation, interactive.

2. Commit and Push Your Changes:

   • Add your changes to git and push them to your forked repository.

   git add .
   git commit -m "feat: Add profile card for dsawithaditi"
   git push origin main

3. Open a Pull Request:

   • Go to your forked repository on GitHub and click the "Contribute" button, then "Open pull request".
   • Provide a clear title and description for your pull request.
   • Wait for your PR to be reviewed and merged.

Contribution Guidelines

• Please do not create spam or low-effort pull requests.
• Ensure your profile card is your own original work.
• Your card should be responsive and work on different screen sizes.
• Follow the prescribed folder and file structure.
