Git/GitHub Adventure 2

1. Explored the links from the article to find a project for my first contribution

I found some projects that I may able to contribute to from GitHub Explore. GitHub Explore consists of five sections: Explore; Topics; Trending; Collections; and Events. I found MunGell/awesome-for-beginners repository in Trending. Its README.md explains about the first-timers-only label.

I looked at some open issues labeled ‘first-timers-only’ on Github and it seems very competitive. I sorted the issues by Newest to see whether there was something I could start to work on, but everything had been taken by someone. Overall, this was very useful and I think I can find projects to contribute to. I just need to keep checking the new issue under ‘first-timers-only’ and comment “THIS IS MINE!” as soon as possible before other people to start it.

2. Git/GitHub activities in the class

I’ve learned about Git/GitHub in class by following the github-workflow-activity-01. It was all manageable to do up to Step 6 - Contribute to the Project. There was another link - Contribution Workflow. It was easy only because there were guidelines, but it would have been difficult without the guidelines. I was happy to see how the changes from my branch linked directly to the pull request. However, I feel that I need to study more on my own to learn including how the branch works. I will review the resources which we went over in class. The activity itself was helpful in understanding the full workflow.
