## Avoiding Duplicate Work

When you decide to implement an exercise, first check that there are no open pull requests
for the same exercise.

Then open a "work in progress" (WIP) pull request, so others will see that you're working on it.

The way to open a WIP pull request even if you haven't done any work yet is:

* Fork and clone the repository.
* Check out a branch for the exercise.
* Add an empty commit `git commit --allow-empty -m "Implement exercise <slug>"`
(replace <slug> with the actual name of the exercise).
* Push the new branch to your repository, and open a pull request against that branch.

Once you have added the actual exercise, then you can rebase your branch onto the upstream
master, which will make the WIP commit go away.
