Open Your First Pull Request​

Create a new branch from the develop branch. Use a descriptive name for your branch, such as feature/new-feature or fix/bug-fix. This makes it easier to understand the purpose of the changes.

2. Make your changes​

Make the necessary code changes and commit them to your local branch.

Follow Conventional Commits: Use the format <type>(<scope>): <short description>[optional body][optional footer] for your commit messages.

Example: feat(api): Add new endpoint for user data

3. Push your changes​

Push your local branch to the remote repository: git push origin <your-branch-name>
