Your goal is to add your name to the CONTRIBUTORS.md file in this project by creating a Pull Request.

The Workflow: Step-by-Step

1. Fork this repository to your own GitHub account by clicking the "Fork" button at the top right of this page.

2. Clone your forked repository to your local machine.

   git clone [https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/ieee-dbit-cs-first-contribution.git](https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/ieee-dbit-cs-first-contribution.git)
   cd ieee-dbit-cs-first-contribution

   (Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your actual GitHub username.)

3. Create a new branch for your changes. A good branch name is descriptive.

   git checkout -b add-your-name

4. Edit the CONTRIBUTORS.md file: Open the CONTRIBUTORS.md file and add your name and GitHub profile link to the bottom of the list.

   • Format: - [Your Full Name](https://github.com/your-username)

5. Stage and Commit your changes with a clear message.

   git add CONTRIBUTORS.md
   git commit -m "feat: Add [Your Name] to contributors list"

6. Push your new branch to your forked repository on GitHub.

   git push origin add-your-name

7. Create a Pull Request: Go to your forked repository on GitHub. A "Compare & pull request" button will appear. Click it, add a title, and submit your pull request!

Once your Pull Request is reviewed and merged by a workshop mentor, you will officially be an open source contributor!
