Submitting a Pull Request (PR)

As a contributor, before submitting your request, kindly follow these guidelines:

Start by checking the PyTorch-SVGRender GitHub to see if there are any open or closed pull requests related to your intended submission. Avoid duplicating existing work.
Fork the PyTorch-SVGRender repository and download your forked repository to your local machine.
```
git clone [your-forked-repository-url]
```
Add the original PyTorch-SVGRender repository as a remote to sync with the latest updates:
```
git remote add upstream ximinng/PyTorch-SVGRender
```

Sync the code from the main repository to your local machine, and then push it back to your forked remote repository.

# Pull the latest code from the upstream branch
git fetch upstream

# Switch to the main branch
git checkout main

# Merge the updates from the upstream branch into main, synchronizing the local main branch with the upstream
git merge upstream/main

# Additionally, sync the local main branch to the remote branch of your forked repository
git push origin main

Note: Sync the code from the main repository before each submission.

Create a branch in your forked repository for your changes, ensuring the branch name is meaningful.
```
git checkout -b my-docs-branch main
```
While making modifications and committing changes, adhere to our Commit Message Format.
```
git commit -m "[docs]: xxxx"
