Open Source Contribution Challenge

Welcome! This challenge helps you make your first-ever Pull Request (PR) by doing one simple thing:

You can do everything directly on GitHub.

What You Need

How to Contribute (Super Easy GitHub-Only Method)

1. Fork the Project

This creates your own editable copy.

Click Fork → GitHub makes your copy → Done

If you don’t know what GitHub is, watch this Microsoft Masterpiece quick intro:
👉 Who is GitHub

2. Open the README in Your Fork

  1. In your fork, click README.md
  2. Click the ✏️ pencil icon (top-right of the file) to edit it

3. Add Your Name

Scroll to the Contributors List and add a line like:

* [YourName](https://github.com/YourUsername)

Example:

* [Sohaibdevv](https://github.com/sohaibdevv)

That’s the only change you need to make.

4. Commit Your Change

At the bottom of the page:

  • Write a simple message:
    Add my name to contributors list
  • Click Commit changes

GitHub saves it automatically.

5. Create Your Pull Request (PR)

After committing, GitHub will show a banner:
