#13 - Add a CONTRIBUTING.md

[JoaquimCJunior]

We need a CONTRIBUTING.md template for our repository. The goal of this file is to guide contributors on how to contribute to the "Good First Issues" project. It should contain the following sections:

• A thank you note for contributing

• Table of contents

• How to contribute, including instructions for:

  • Reporting bugs
  • Submitting code
  • Contributing to documentation
  • Adding new features

• Getting started, including instructions on how to fork and clone the repository

• Project workflow

• How to add repositories and issues with the "Good First Issue" label

• Code of conduct

• Steps for Implementation:

• Create the basic structure for the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

• Include a table of contents with links to each section.

• Write detailed instructions for each type of contribution.

• Provide a practical example of how to fork and clone the repository.

• Add a section about the project workflow.

• Explain how to add new repositories and issues with the "Good First Issue" label.

-Risks and Challenges:

• Ensuring the instructions are clear and easy to understand, especially for beginners on GitHub.
• Keeping the file concise without losing clarity.

Did you use an LLM to generate this?

You might want to advise here to run this in a throwaway clone or branch, because it will change the state of the repository (and we typically want the actual updates to come in the automation).
