```bash
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/papers-we-love.git
cd papers-we-love
```
Create a new branch

Short description / why you love it
Stage and commit your changes
```bash
git add .
git commit -m "Add: out-of-the-tar-pit (2006) 📜"
```
Use one commit per PR.
Push your branch
```bash
git push origin add-new-paper
```
Create a Pull Request (PR).
Navigate to your fork on GitHub.
Click "Compare & pull request".
Ensure your PR description explains what you added and why.
Wait for at least two thumbs up from PWL organizers/collaborators for merge.
Rebase if necessary.

```bash
git fetch origin
git rebase origin/main
git push -f
```
Following these steps will make your first PR smooth and merge-ready!
