Step 1: Set Up Your Environment

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/CassioML.git

Step 3: Create a New Branch

It's important to create a new branch for each feature or fix you're working on. This keeps your changes organized and separated from the master branch. You can create and switch to a new branch by using the following command. Replace branch-name with the name of your branch:

git checkout -b branch-name

Once you've made your changes, you can add them to a commit with:

git add .

Then, commit your changes with a clear and descriptive commit message:

git commit -m "Your detailed commit message"

Finally, push your changes to your GitHub account with:

git push origin branch-name

Step 6: Submit a Pull Request

Go back to your forked repo on GitHub and click on 'Compare & pull request'. Fill in the necessary details and click on 'Create pull request'.
