underyour-GitHub-username/repository-name.
-
Clone the repository to your local machine using:

Add the upstream remote:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/Sajiyah-Salat/BlogWeb.git -
Pull the latest changes from the main repository if you think your fork is behind:
git pull upstream main -
Create a new branch and switch to it for your issue fix or feature using:
git switch -c branch-name-here -
Make the appropriate changes for the issue you are trying to address or the feature that you want to add
-
Add the changes to the staging and commit them to the branch you are working on
-
Push the changes to the remote repository using:
git push origin branch-name-here -
Submit a pull request to the upstream repository
- Title the pull request with a short description of the changes made
