Guidlines for the contributors

To ensure a proper workflow and minimal clashes. Kindly, adhere to the given procedure. This will ensure a sagacious development of the project.

1. Forking this repo

   -> Log into Github with your account.
   -> Find the Github Repo: https://github.com/mittaljai-2/Waste_Segregation
   -> Click the Fork button.

2. Local Clone

   -> Open the terminal/git bash on your pc at your desired location.
   -> Clone the FORKED-REPO (not the original one), it will be in your Github Account.
   -> Run the command
                  "git clone <forked repo clone URL>"
   -> You will now have all the files and folders from your forked repo onto your local device.

3. Adding a Remote

   -> Git already added a Git remote named 'origin' to the clone of the Git repository on your system.
   -> This will allow you to push changes back up to the forked repository in your GitHub account using "git commit" (to add commits locally) and "git push".
   -> Now let's add a Git remote pointing back to the ORIGINAL repo. This will ensure you can update your forked repo according to the ORIGINAL repo.
   -> Run the command
                    " git remote add upstream <original repo clone URL>"
   -> So, your remotes are ready to use now.
   -> 'origin':    Name of the remote to access your forked repo so that you can commit and push changes to it.
   -> 'upstream':  Name of the remote to access the original repo so that you can keep your forked repo up to date with the original one.

4. Pushing the changes

   -> After you have committed the changes and all the work to your repo.
   -> Push them onto the Github (the forked repo).
   -> Using the command
                      " git push <remote> <branch_name> "
   -> So, if you're pushing the changes to the master branch of your forked repo. The command will become
                      " git push origin master "

5. Opening a Pull Request

   -> This part is extremely easy with GitHub.
   -> Once the changes are pushed onto your repo, GitHub will prompt you to make a Pull Request.
   -> Open a Pull Request by comparing the changes across the original repo and your forked one.

6. After a merged Pull Request

   -> After your changes are merged in the main/original/head repo.
   -> You should update your local clone by using " git pull upstream master " & " git push origin master ". ( 'upstream' is the remote for the original repo )
   -> Now, the changes you made for the project are in the head repo and you have also updated your forked repo accordingly.

7. Keeping your Fork in Sync

   -> To keep your fork in sync with the original repository. 
   -> Use these commands:
                        " git pull upstream master "
                        " git push origin master "
