[FEATURE] Connect "Read The Contribution Guide" Button

[ArshiBansal]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, the "Read The Contribution Guide" button in contributors page is not connected to any page or resource. New contributors who want to learn how to contribute to the project do not have a clear path to access contribution guidelines, which may create confusion and increase the likelihood of inconsistent contributions.

Describe the solution you'd like

Connect the "Read The Contribution Guide" button to the repository's existing CONTRIBUTING.md file on GitHub.

If a dedicated contribution guidelines page is planned for the website in the future, the button can initially link to CONTRIBUTING.md and later be updated to point to the new page once it is created.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Creating a dedicated Contribution Guidelines page within the website and linking the button to that page.
• Displaying contribution guidelines in a modal or popup instead of redirecting users.
• Adding both options: a website contribution page that references the repository's CONTRIBUTING.md.

Additional context

This is a small usability improvement that can help onboard contributors more effectively and ensure they follow the project's contribution standards and code of conduct.

Suggested implementation:

1. Short term: Link the button directly to the repository's CONTRIBUTING.md.
2. Long term: Create a dedicated contribution guidelines page on the website and update the button to point there.

Hi @ArshiBansal @Aditya948351 @devpathindcommunity-india

I would like to work on this issue under GSSoC 2026.I can update the "Read The Contribution Guide" button to redirect users to the CONTRIBUTING.md file and verify the navigation works correctly.
Could you please assign this issue to me? I would be happy to contribute and provide regular updates on the progress.

Displaying contribution guidelines in a modal or popup instead of redirecting users.

@ArshiBansal Do show that without redirecting but mention a small symbol of redirect there which will redirect to the repo Contribution.md file

Assigned!
