Assign Account ID to a contact using trigger

HI All,

I am writing a trigger where if the Contact being created is not related to an account, then we should assign this contact to a particular account:
  
trigger trigger_Contact1 on Contact (before insert) {


      List<contact> conlist = new List<contact>(); 
      for(Contact con :trigger.new){
      if(Accountid==null)
      Account.id=0015G00001dSXtWQAW;
      conlist.add(con);
      }
     
    insert conlist;
}

The account id I have mentioned is of an account to which I would like to assign all contacts to in case if the Account is not selected for such contacts at time of insert.

hi Raza, you can refer below code -  
trigger trigger_Contact1 on Contact (before insert) {
      //List<contact> conlist = new List<contact>(); 
      for(Contact con :trigger.new){
             if(con.Accountid==null && String.isBlank(con.Accountid)){
                     con.AccountId = '0015G00001dSXtWQAW';
             }
      }
    //insert conlist;
    //no need to explicitly insert/update the same record in trigger. Apex trigger automatically does the job
}

Hii Raza
Try Below Trigger Code 
trigger  trigger_Contact1 on Contact (before insert) {
    if(trigger.IsInsert && Trigger.IsBefore){
        for(contact con : trigger.new){
           if(con.AccountId == Null){
            con.AccountId = '0015G00001dSXtWQAW';
           } 
        }
    }
}
