• Time is the most essential part of everyone's life and keeping track of this time is equally important.
  
• A clock helps us in our quest to utilize our time efficiently. To assist you to excel in this quest we are building a digital stopwatch.
  
• This stopwatch represents the time in DD:HH:MM: SS (day:hour:minute: second) format, making it easy to keep track of our time.
  
• The functionalities of Start, Stop, Reset, Lap, and Clear Lap are accessible with a click of a button.
  
• To enhance the visual appearance it can be viewed in both dark and light modes, making it easier to access at all times, along with having a responsive website to maximize the user experience.
  

• Star this repository by pressing the top-rightmost button to start your incredible journey.
• Create an issue describing how you want to contribute to this project.

• Then fork this repository by using the Fork button on top-right of your screen.

• In the forked repository add your changes.

NOTE: commands are to be executed on Linux, Mac, and Windows(using Powershell)

• You need to clone (download) it to a local machine using

$ git clone https://github.com/Your_Username/stopwatch.git

This makes a local copy of the repository in your machine.

• Then make a pull request with the issue number.
• Once you have cloned the stopwatch repository in Github, move to that folder first using the change directory command on Linux, Mac, and Windows(PowerShell to be used).

# This will change the directory to a folder stopwatch
$ cd stopwatch

Move to this folder for all other commands.

• Run the following commands to see that your local copy has a reference to your forked remote repository in Github

$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/Your_Username/stopwatch.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/Your_Username/stopwatch.git (push)

Now, let's add a reference to the original stopwatch repository using

$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/avinash201199/stopwatch.git

This adds a new remote named upstream.

See the changes using

$ git remote -v
origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/stopwatch.git (fetch)
origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/stopwatch.git (push)
upstream  https://github.com/Remote_Username/stopwatch.git (fetch)
upstream  https://github.com/Remote_Username/stopwatch.git (push)

In your case, you will see

$ git remote -V
origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/stopwatch.git (fetch)
origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/stopwatch.git(push)
upstream  https://github.com/ietebitmesra/stopwatch.git (fetch)
upstream  https://github.com/ietebitmesra/stopwatch.git (push)

• Always keep your local copy of the repository updated with the original repository. Before making any changes and/or in an appropriate interval, run the following commands carefully to update your local repository.

# Fetch all remote repositories and delete any deleted remote branches ``
$ git fetch --all --prune

# Switch to `master` branch
$ git checkout master

# Reset local `master` branch to match the `upstream` repository's `master` branch
$ git reset --hard upstream/master

# Push changes to your forked `stopwatch` repo
$ git push origin master

• Once you have completed these steps, you are ready to start contributing by checking our Help Wanted Issues and creating pull requests.

• Whenever you are going to contribute. Please create a separate branch using command and keep your master branch clean (i.e. synced with remote branch).

# It will create a new branch with name Branch_Name and switch to branch Folder_Name
$ git checkout -b BranchName

• Create a separate branch for contribution and try to use the same name of the branch as of folder.

To switch to the desired branch

# To switch from one folder to other
$ git checkout BranchName
To add the changes to the branch. Use

# To add all files to branch Folder_Name
$ git add .
Type in a message relevant for the code reviewer using

# This message gets associated with all files you have changed
$ git commit -m 'relevant message'

Now, Push your awesome work to your remote repository using

# To push your work to your remote repository
$ git push -u origin BranchName

• Finally, go to your repository in the browser and click on compare and pull requests. Then add a title and description to your pull request that explains your precious efforts
