## How to Contribute

We use the standard GitHub Fork and Pull Request workflow. Please do not request direct push access to the main repository. 

1. **Fork the repository** to your own GitHub account.
2. **Clone your fork** locally to your machine:
   `git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/[Repository-Name].git`
3. **Create a new branch** for your feature or bug fix:
   `git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name` (or `bugfix/issue-description`)
4. **Commit your changes** with clear, descriptive commit messages.
5. **Push the branch** back to your forked repository.
