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.
