🚀 HackToFuture 3.0 Repository Setup Guide

To track your progress and collaborate effectively, every team must fork the official repository and follow the steps below.

🔱 Fork the Repository

Go to the GitHub page https://github.com/HackToFuture/HTF-XNN

Click on the "Fork" button in the upper-right corner of the page.

Assign the repository name as "HTF - <Team_Code>".

Example :
<Team_Code> -> A09
Repository Name : HTF-A09

📥 Clone Your Forked Repository

Go to your forked repository on GitHub.

Click the green "Code" button, then click the clipboard icon to copy the URL.

Open your terminal and run the following git clone command to copy the repository to your local machine.

Replace repository-url with the URL of your forked repository.

git clone <repository-url>

🛠️ Start working on your project

Begin building your solution! Collaborate with your teammates and push changes regularly.

📝 Commit Your Changes

Track and save your progress using Git:

Check the status of your changes

 git status

Use the git add command to stage the changes you want to commit

  git add .

Commit with a meaningful message

Option 1 : Simple Commit Format (Beginner Friendly)

Use this if you're new to Git

 git commit -m "Your descriptive commit message"

Option 2 : Conventional Commits (Recommended)

Follow this format for more structured, professional commit history

git commit -m "<type>(<scope>): <subject>"

Type	Purpose
feat	for a new feature for the user, not a new feature for build script. Such commit will trigger a release bumping a MINOR version
fix	for a bug fix for the user, not a fix to a build script. Such commit will trigger a release bumping a PATCH version
perf	for performance improvements. Such commit will trigger a release bumping a PATCH version
docs	for changes to the documentation
test	for adding missing tests, refactoring tests; no production code change
style	for formatting changes, missing semicolons, etc
refactor	for refactoring production code, e.g. renaming a variable
build	for updating build configuration, development tools or other changes irrelevant to the user

Scope: Area of change (e.g., api, ui, auth)

Subject: One-line summary in present tense, no period at the end

Example: git commit -m "fix(button): fix submit button not working"

🚀 Push Your Changes

Send your local commits to GitHub:

  git push origin

🧠 Tips

Commit often : Small, frequent commits help track progress and fix bugs easily.

Write clear messages : Describe what you did in each commit.

Collaborate : Make sure everyone in your team contributes.
