| 18 | +Here are 3 quick and painless ways to contribute to this project: |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +* Add a program in any language. (A simple Hello World would be suffice.) |
| 21 | +To do so, first create a issue with the task you are doing. For Ex. Issue - creating bubble sort in C. Add the HacktoberFest label in the issue and assign the issue to yourself. Create a pull request in response to that issue and finally submit it for review. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +* How to name your branch? |
| 24 | + username_hello_world_in_c |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + Also create a directory for any new programs if it doesn't exist. |

| 28 | + Inside these directories you can create your own file with program_name.language_extension (hello_world.cpp) |
