This project is a hands-on exercise to understand forking, pull requests, and working with upstream repositories. It demonstrates how to contribute to open-source projects using GitHub and Git commands.
This mini project demonstrates a standard GitHub contribution workflow (forks, branches, pull requests) and a quick front-end exercise: creating a perfect circle using a <div>.
- Get familiar with forks and pull requests
- Use git commands to manage an upstream repository
- Practice secure auth with a Personal Access Token (PAT)
- Make a small UI change: CSS circle using a div
- Git installed
- GitHub account
- (Recommended) SSH keys or a Personal Access Token (PAT) for HTTPS pushes
- GitHub β Settings β Developer settings β Fine-grained tokens (or Classic)
- Give repo scopes (e.g.,
repo) β Generate and copy the token - Use it instead of password when pushing over HTTPS
- On GitHub, open the original repo β click Fork
