Hey @Joelsamijon,

I am uncomfortable with you releasing this project as a "Public Template" via your fork... I don't mind you forking this repo, but please don't release it as a template.

Feel free to contribute though,

Thanks,
Kendall Does Coding

hii there @KendallDoesCoding i am new to opensource contribution and i think i've forked your repo by mistake. but i would like to try and solve some beginner friendly issues if you can guide me .

[KendallDoesCoding]

Oh ok, no worries! I would love to guide you with stuff, do you know Web Dev?

[jaynarayan-vaishnav]

btw i cloned your repo on my local machine and will be solving issues if i am able to and push it on the local repo i don't know how to merge the repo with the original one .

[KendallDoesCoding]

The issues are mainly pretty hard JS issues, but if you can solve them, then please do so.

You can't merge the repo with the original repo, you can only do it with the forked one as you don't have collab access to this repo.

[KendallDoesCoding]

@jaynarayan20 , I think you should start with this, it seems to be a very basic issue, I just don't know how to fix it 😆 : #80

[KendallDoesCoding]

Idk how good you are at Web dev, but then you can try: #105 and #187, the other pretty basic things to do but I don't know how to do them, I honestly need to learn how to, but there are no tutorials out there on topics like this!

[KendallDoesCoding]

will try my best thanks for the encouragement

That's great... Thanks!

[KendallDoesCoding]

@jaynarayan20 If your down with working on #80 , please send a message in the thread like "I want to work on this issue" so I can assign it to you, I can't assign it otherwise as you are not a project collaborator.

[jaynarayan-vaishnav]

Sry I can't do this right now because busy with other work

No worries!

@KendallDoesCoding just because someone forked a repo, doesn't mean that they should be "encouraged" to contribute.

People fork repos all the time, just to keep a copy of a project. I forked a NPM library sometime ago when it went EOL. The project has come back to life ever since, though.

[TechStudent10]

@jaynarayan20 There is nothing wrong with you taking that as encouragement, just that pinging a bunch of people just because they forked your repo just to ask if they can help on your project even though they didn't even want to in the first place isn't right imo.

[jaynarayan-vaishnav]

chill bro everyone can makes mistake.

[TechStudent10]

*mistakes.

Exactly. I just pointed out that mistake.

[KendallDoesCoding]

True, sorry I'm new to all these things, I've never got so many forks on my repo so was just encouraging people to contribute, wasn't forcing them to.
