Need Documentation for CONTRIBUTING.md

Contributing to other repositories is a good deed. It helps developer speed their project development as well as improve their product. But many a times, the contributors don't know much about the ways of contribution. Hence it is a good idea to have a CONTRIBUTING.md file which informs the contributors about the steps required to perform a simple pull request.

Create a GUI for YouTubeBot

As it stands, you can run YouTubeBot using any IDE. But it would be better if a GUI would be created for easier execution. The GUI must take the following info:

• URL of YouTube video
• Duration
• Loops (inf for infinite)

Add Pull Request Template

Create a Pull Request Template of your own format. Make sure it covers basic areas like what the pull request is all about, what is the changes made etc. A neat format is well appreciated.

Add badges to README.md

Add necessary badges like MIT license, number of stars, number of forks, etc to this repo. You can create badges from https://shields.io/category/license

Make sure the badges are eye catching :)

Create pre-commit hooks

Create pre-commit hooks that checks for the quality of the code submitted, identifies any potential sensitive info disclosures and corrects / removes any error if found.

create CONTRIBUTING.md file

If anyone could help me create CONTRIBUTING.md file for this repo, that would be awesome! I literally can't take some time off my coding and focus on the non coding aspect. So the help is much appreciated.

Update README

The never ending task of updating README bugs every developer. Why don't you lend a hand by writing a neat documentation for YouTube Bot? You can choose whatever format you like, as long as it looks completely awesome and eye popping. Video demos are much appreciated.
Thanks
