The steps to follow to contribute to any projects:

  4. Add a upstream link to main branch in your cloned repo

    git remote add upstream <original repository>
    
  5. Keep your cloned repo upto date by pulling from upstream

    This will also avoid any merge conflicts while committing new changes
