How to Contributing to Android Open Source Projects with Git (Github) ?! photo from https://julien.danjou.info/

In this exciting article, I am going to talk about the world of open source and open source.

In this article, I will write about your participation as a member of a project so join me.

Suppose your friend puts a project in public at the GitHub and asks his or her friends to work with him or her to make customized adjustments to make it larger or fix it. So how should you start this partnership ?! Wait a bit you’ll find out!

1. See your friend GitHub project page.

2. Select the Fork option. This option will insert the project into your account.

3. Once you have the project in your account, copy the HTTP link and paste it as a git project in Android Studio. Sync it and make custom changes to it.

4. Create your desired branch and push the changes after you commit.

5. Next, if you go to the project on the GitHub page, you can see the changes to the Branch you made.

6. Select the git option from the VCs tab. We are working with the git pull request option. Select it and write a comment (make the changes you made) and send it.

7. After viewing the successful message you can go to the project homepage on the GitHub and you can see your request in the pull request tab.

8. Your friend either approves it and merges it with the original branding or rejects it.

I have taught you all of the above steps in a short video. Just follow the video. Thank You
