  • Add your article in the src/data-tutorials/users.tsx file.
  • Make sure to add the celosage tag in your article's frontmatter and src/data-tutorials/users.tsx file
  • Don't use any # tag in your article. Please use ## for titles, ### for subtitles.
  • Don't use ** or *** in your titles or subtitles. Use ## or ### instead. ## and ### will automatically bold the text.
  • Add a header image just after frontmatter. The image should look something like this - ![header](../src/data-tutorials/showcase/<beginner/intermediate/advance>/<image-name>.png)

  • Don't add the title of your article to your blog, as it will be added automatically.
  • Before creating a PR, make sure your code is well formatted and there are no errors in the console.
  • Make sure to add a header image of your article in src/data-tutorials/users.tsx. You can get the header image from your Trello card.
