Description

@saitejx08

The repository assumes users already understand how the GitHub forking workflow works. For beginners who come to this repository to make their first open-source contribution, this may feel confusing. Adding a short explanation or diagram can make the guide more beginner-friendly.

Why This Matters:

Zero-to-Mastery attracts many first-time contributors. A detailed and clear workflow helps them avoid common mistakes such as:
-Wrong branch commits
-Direct commits to the main repo
-Incorrect remote setup

Suggested Content to Add:
-A simple diagram showing the contribution workflow
-Step-by-step instructions on forking, cloning, creating a branch, committing, and pushing
--Example commands

git clone https://github.com//start-here-guidelines.git
git checkout -b my-update
git push origin my-update
