how do i push

[Brainlessnoobcoder]

Hello,

i am currently translating some words in hindi but where should i push i am little bit confused its my first time contributing to project i am little confused i have already created branch to avoid potential conflict but how should i push my commit to origin should i first merge the branch and then push or push the new branch entirely for later maintainers to cherry pick i am unsure of this please help me out of this.

You would push the entire branch that has your changes to Origin (ensuring that the remote origin is pointing to your repo, verify it by running this cmd in the terminal git remote -vv)

This is similar in most contributions. You don't merge your own Branchs, unless you want to perform merges between the upstream and your repo or when you have worked on different branches (and want to merge them before submitting the work).

Coming back to it, We would squash merge your commits, If they're acceptable in our Repository.

Forgot to mention, after you've pushed the changes to your Repository, you have to open a pull request towards our Repository's main branch (GitHub might give you a “compare & create a pull request” button)

Create a fork of Acode on GitHub, clone your fork, push your changes to it, and then create a pull request.

You can do that on GitHub's UI instead of this.

This flow is normal for most contributions where the contributor doesn't have direct access to the Upstream/Main Repository.
