Hi PC Readers,
Welcome to your release digest. In this blog, I will talk about my first contribution to a new repository in the open source world. In release 0.1, I had made changes to my colleague's repo. But this time the repo maintainer is a complete stranger.
To start with, I chose PassManager-pyScript. This software provides a python program to safely store passwords using cryptography.
I was searching GitHub for documentation issues to work on. I stumbled upon this repo with an issue that wanted to better document the instructions for setting up its python script. So I went on to read its readme file to have an oversight of the code. The "grammarista" in me created a new issue to first update this readme file.
I went on to fork the repository and clone it on my local machine. Then I made the relevant changes, pushed them to my forked repo, and created a pull request.
Phew!
This was a good first practise in getting used to working with open source. In the coming days, I want to level up and work on something more advanced.
See you in the next blog!
PC
