DPS909 Blog :First contirbution in HACKTOBERFEST

Hey everyone, thanks for reading my Blog post. This post is regarding my first contribution to the HACKTOBERFEST.

Overview

In Release 0.2 we were asked to participate in the Hactoberfest so that we could contribute to real open source projects. Furthermore, the main goal of this release is to help you gain experience and confidence in contributing to open source projects through direct involvement in a number of real projects.

Finding right Open Source Projects

Finding the right open source project was really challenging for me, we were asked to work on any GitHub hosted open source project with the repo with the Hacktoberfest topic and/or Issues with the Hacktoberfest label.
For my first contribution in open source project i have choose this project Basic-memory-game.
This is Basic Concentration (card game). It is a particularly good game for young children, though adults may find it challenging and stimulating as well.

Finding Issue

Issue which i have found in Basic-memory-game is about the code indentation.

Code indent not proper.
In this issue we were asked to Add code indentation and workflow for automated indentation

Fixing the Issue

The issue was simple, so i forked the code locally on my machine and fixed the code indentation and created the workflow which will help to run the prettier action each time when we have push or pull request on the actual code.

Pull Request

After fixing the code and creating the automated workflow for the prettier to run on each push and pull I have created this PR.

Conclusion

Working on Open source projects has really helped me a lot to learn about the new way and let me gain some experience on how to work on open source projects.

Thanks
