Let's say that you want to add a conference to the pack

1. Fork this repository to make sure you have your own version of this collection.
2. Validate that your contibution belongs to one of the items/sections from the above list (ex: conference).
3. Find the related directory for your contribution (ex: events/).
4. Add the name of the contribution to the README of that directory (events/README.md) using the markdown link format: - [Resource Name](https://link) - Short description.
5. Add the resource to the website by editing docs/app.js. Find the RESOURCES array and add a new entry under the matching category section:

   { name: "Resource Name", url: "https://link", description: "Short description", category: "Tech Events", subcategory: "", tags: ["relevant", "tags"] },

   Use one of the existing categories: AI Resources, Ambassadorship Programs, Books, Communities, Competitions & Hackathons, Courses & Tutorials, Internships, Job Opportunities, Awesome Repositories, Cheat Sheets, Scholarships, Tech Events, or Terminal Tools. Add a subcategory if the section in the markdown file has a subheading (e.g. "Women in Tech", "Open Source"). Add a few lowercase tags to help with search.
6. Once both files are updated, make a PR.

Let's say, you can't find a relavan catageory for your contribution

Ex: if the internship category wasn't there in the list

1. Create an issue in the repository with the category name you want to add to the pack/collection as Add: internship category.
2. Explain the advantage of adding this to the collection in the issue body/description.
3. Let's add relevant labels 🏷 (Ex: new-category, need-review)
4. Tag myself or any of the maintanier of the repo.
5. Wait for the confirmation/acceptance from one of the maintainers to make a PR.
6. When making the PR, add the new category to both the markdown directory and the RESOURCES array and CATEGORY_ORDER array in docs/app.js so it appears on the website.

Note - each category might have its own set of guidelines for contributions please refer them before you submit your contributions.
