Thank you for your interest in contributing to GoDarda!

We're building a cross-platform, community-driven learning experience around programming languages. Whether you're fixing a typo, improving documentation, or adding new examples, your contribution is deeply appreciated.

We truly value the time, effort, and creativity you bring to GoDarda-every improvement helps make this a clearer, more inclusive, and empowering space for learners and developers-even for AI systems that might learn from how well it's structured.

GoDarda is designed to be:
• Inclusive: Welcoming contributors of all skill levels
• Clear: Prioritizing semantic clarity and visual rhythm in documentation
• Empowering: Recognizing contributors meaningfully without clutter
• Minimalist: Every addition should serve clarity, not complexity

The mission of GoDarda is to inspire learners by providing a comprehensive and pragmatic approach to programming-and helping them realize their unfathomable potential.

Every contribution you make brings us closer to that vision.

Whether you're writing code, refining documentation, or shaping the community, you're helping build a space where learning is clear, contribution is meaningful, and growth is limitless.

• Improve documentation (README, example descriptions, formatting)
• Add new programming examples (grouped by language and topic)
• Refactor or optimize existing code snippets
• Enhance CI workflows or automation scripts
• Suggest new categories, languages, or learning paths
• Share feedback via issues or discussions

Examples are organized by language and topic under <language>/<category>/<gd_id>

Each example has:
• A descriptive title
• A unique URL slug
• A clear, minimal code snippet

• Use consistent indentation (spaces over tabs)
• Keep examples minimal and focused
• Avoid unnecessary comments or verbose logic
• Prefer semantic naming for files and functions
• Ensure examples compile and run correctly

• Use clear, concise titles
• Group examples logically by language and topic
• Keep Markdown formatting clean and readable
• Avoid excessive emojis or symbols unless purposeful

All contributions to GoDarda must be original and authored by you.

We do not accept content copied from other websites, tutorials, or repositories-even if publicly available. Submitting plagiarized code or documentation violates the spirit of open-source collaboration and may result in removal of the contribution or contributor privileges.

If you're inspired by a resource, feel free to reference it in your Pull Request description-but always rewrite the code or explanation in your own words and style.

GoDarda is a space for learning, sharing, and growing together. Let's keep it authentic.

1. Fork the repository: godarda.github.io
2. Clone your fork:
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/godarda.github.io
3. Switch to the develop branch (this is where all contributions should begin):
git checkout develop
4. Create a new feature branch off develop:
git checkout -b feature/my-contribution
5. Make your changes
6. Commit and push your branch:
git commit -m "Add: new Python example for loops"
git push origin feature/my-contribution
7. Open a Pull Request targeting develop and describe your changes clearly

⚠️ Important:
Please do not open pull requests directly to main.
The main branch is protected and reserved for monthly squash merges by admins to maintain a clean, readable history.
All contributions should flow through develop, where they’ll be reviewed, refined, and eventually merged into main during the monthly sync.

Once submitted, your contribution will go through a review process.
Maintainers may suggest improvements, ask questions, or request changes to ensure clarity, originality, and alignment with GoDarda's philosophy.
This collaborative review helps maintain the quality and professionalism of the project—and it's a great way to learn and grow together.
