Nice work @paridhigulati, I think you have made two cpp files for hello world and git add -A adds all the files to staging area ( or include it to the list of files that will be commited )

To add individual files you can use git add <your-file-name> and then usegit status to check which files are included in staging area and which branch are you working in !

Also we never use master branch to submit a Pull Request, we always make a new branch , read this

You can try fixing this PR or make a new one as per your wish ( and don't forget to add your name in Contributors.md )

Nice @paridhigulati, let's do one more thing, Read this
This will squash your four commits into one, and keep our project's history clean and simple

Never use your master branch to push features. Instead you should make a branch on your fork: eg paridhigulati/some-relevant-name. If you make PRs from the master branch, you won't be able to work on multiple issues simultaneously.

@adiaholic Oh sorry, I didn't know this.
I did use git checkout -b new-branch but I guess it didn't work.
Is there a way I could delete all the commits and do this all over again properly?

[tushar5526]

Yes, you can switch to a new branch and then squash your commits into one. Any other way do you prefer @adiaholic ?

@paridhigulati Sadly, there isn't a way to rename a branch. What you need to do is,

1. Make another branch with correct branch-name.
2. Instead of re-committing changes, rebase the newer branch on this branch. This will reflect those changes automatically.

@adiaholic Acually there is apparently a way to rename branches: git branch -m <old name> <new name> or if we want to just rename the current branch then simply git branch -m <new name>

I think what you meant there is that we cannot of course rename master to some other name
