How to Contribute

Getting Started

1. Fork the Repository - Create your own copy on GitHub
2. Clone Your Fork - Download to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/4ssh1/LEARN-DSA-SLACK.git
   cd LEARN-DSA-SLACK

3. Create a Branch - Use a descriptive branch name:

   git checkout -b USERNAME-add-python-solution-two-sum

Adding Solutions

1. Navigate to the relevant week folder (e.g., dsa/month-01-arrays-and-strings/week-01-array-basics/)
2. Go to the solutions/ folder and choose your language (python, cpp, javascript, csharp)
3. Create or update your solution file following the naming convention
4. Add corresponding tests in the tests/ subfolder
5. Ensure your code runs without errors

Submitting Your Contribution

1. Commit Your Changes - Use clear, descriptive messages:

   git add .
   git commit -m "Add Python solution for two_sum"

2. Push to Your Fork:

   git push origin add-python-solution-two-sum

3. Create a Pull Request - Go to the main repository and open a PR with:
   • Clear title (e.g., "Add Python solution for two_sum")
   • Description of your changes
   • Reference to related issues if any
4. Respond to Reviews - Address feedback from reviewers
5. Merge - Once approved, your PR will be merged into main

Tips for Success

• Check existing solutions before adding yours

• Follow the code style and formatting of your language

• Write clean, readable code with meaningful variable names

• Include comments for complex logic

• Test your solution thoroughly

• Keep commits atomic and focused

  ✅ Rules

• One problem per folder → Multiple solutions go inside language subfolders.

• Commit messages should be descriptive.

• Keep code clean & readable → Use proper formatting.

• Do NOT commit directly to main.

• Make sure your code runs without errors.

📥 Pull Request Rules

• Always open PRs into main (base branch must be main).

• Your PR will be blocked if it targets any other branch.

• Every PR must be reviewed and approved by someone else before merging.

• Use clear titles like: Add Python solution for two_sum

👥 Code Reviews

All PRs will be reviewed before merging.

Reviewers may request changes for formatting, naming, or structure.

Once approved, your PR will be merged into main.

Thanks for contributing.
