AbsoluteHack

AbsoluteHack is a global hackathon uniting thousands of ignited minds. It is initiated by TechTalks for organizing hackathon in Pan India.
In the context of a hackathon, the word "hack" is used to describe how multiple technologies can be used together in a new and innovative way. Hence, AbsoluteHack provides an amazing atmosphere to put in all you've got and bring your ideas to fruition.

Technology Used

This consists of two parts:

• FrontEnd:

  • HTML
  • Sass
  • EJS
  • Bootstrap
  • JavaScript
  • Node as build system

• Backend:

  • Django
  • PostgreSQL

Contributing to AbsoluteHack

General Guidelines

• Add assets such as images and other media in assets folder.
• Follow standard coding practices, naming conventions and the regular document object model (DOM).
• Make issues on GitHub to propose new features, bugs and then make a PR referencing the same.
• Make sure you update your REMOTE ORIGIN in case you have forked this repo : Refer.
• Once you update the forked repo make sure you rebase the changes and then open the PR. Refer.

Submitting Issues

• Before creating a new issue, perform a cursory search in the main repo to see if a similar issue has already been submitted.
• You can create an issue here. Please include as many details as possible in your report.
• Issue titles should be descriptive, explaining at the high level what it is about.
• Please include the version of the dependencies you are using, as well as what operating system you are having a problem on.
• Do not open a pull request to resolve an issue without first receiving feedback from a collaborator or owner and having them agree on a solution forward.
• Include screenshots and animated GIFs whenever possible; they are immensely helpful.

Pull Requests

• DO NOT ISSUE A PULL REQUEST WITHOUT FIRST SUBMITTING AN ISSUE.
• It is now mandatory for everyone to comment on every PR made and read other people's code.
• Pull requests should reference their related issues. If the pull request closes an issue, please reference its closing in your commit messages. Pull requests not referencing any issues will be closed.
• Pull request titles should be descriptive, explaining at the high level what it is doing, and should be written in the same style as git commit messages.
• Every PR should only have one logical change and the least number of commits possible (if for some reasons the commits are higher then the creator of the PR would be asked to squash them.) If he/she doesn't comply, then the PR shall not be merged.
  Refer this, in case there are multiple commits.
• Do not squash or rebase your commits (with multiple logical changes) when submitting a Pull Request. It makes it much harder to follow your work and make incremental changes.
• We accept PRs only on develop branch. No PRs shall be accepted on master branch.

Git Commit Messages

• Use the present tense (Add feature not Added Feature).
• Use the imperative mood (Move cursor to... not Moves cursor to...).
• Limit the first line to 72 characters or less.

Git ignore generated files/folders

Typically we don't track folders and files which are generated by commands eg node_mdoules or transpiled files etc.

Tracking only source files is sufficient to have all of them on a local machine, by running corresponding commands
We can have thus have only relevant changes in commits and maintain clean git history

Do the wireframing for the website.
