+# Submitting Contributions👩‍💻👨‍💻  
+Below you will find the process and workflow used to review and merge your changes.  
+
+## Step 0 : Find an issue  🔍
+- Take a look at the Existing Issues or create your **own** Issues!  
+- Wait for the Issue to be assigned to you after which you can start working on it.  
+- Note : Every change in this project should/must have an associated issue.   
+![issue](https://github.com/TheLeanProgrammer/TheLeanProgrammer.github.io/issues)  
+
+## Step 1 : Fork the Project 🍴
+- Fork this Repository. This will create a Local Copy of this Repository on your Github Profile. Keep a reference to the original project in `upstream` remote.  
+```  
+$ git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/Community-Website  
+$ cd <repo-name>  
+$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/TheLeanProgrammer/TheLeanProgrammer
+```  
+![fork]([email protected]:TheLeanProgrammer/TheLeanProgrammer.github.io.git)  
+
+- Update your forked repo before working.  
+```  
+$ git remote update  
+$ git checkout <branch-name>  
+$ git rebase upstream/<branch-name>  
+```  
+## Step 2 : Branch  🔖
+Create a new branch. Use its name to identify the issue you are addressing.  
+```  
+# It will create a new branch with name Branch_Name and switch to that branch 
+$ git checkout -b branch_name  
+```  
+
+## Step 3 : Commit  
+- To commit give a descriptive message for the convenience of reviewer by:  
+```
+# This message get associated with all files you have changed  
+$ git commit -m "message"  
+```
+
+### Commit message guidelines
+- Each commit message consists of a header, a body and a footer. The header has a special format that includes a type, a scope and a subject:
+```
+<type>(<scope>): <subject>
+<BLANK LINE>
+<body>
+<BLANK LINE>
+<footer>
+```
+Any line of the commit message cannot be longer than 100 characters! This allows the message to be easier to read on GitHub as well as in various git tools
