  1. Visit the first-contributions repository on GitHub. This is a great project for beginners to practice contributing to open-source.

  2. Fork the repository to your GitHub account and clone it to your computer.

  3. Open the cloned repository in your code editor, and navigate to the Contributors.md file. This file contains a list of contributors to the project.

  4. Add your name (linked to your GitHub profile), along with a message to the people of GitHub.

  5. Commit your changes, and push them to your forked repository.

  6. Create a pull request from your forked repository to the original firstcontributions/first-contributions repository.

Submission

Once you have created your pull request, submit the link to your pull request in Blackboard.

Note

Your pull request may not be merged immediately. Be patient and check back later to see if it has been merged.
