Integrating Matheus' "First steps contributing to Git" tutorial

[phil-blain]

Hi @matheustavares !

When I was starting out with Git I found your tutorial https://matheustavares.gitlab.io/posts/first-steps-contributing-to-git to be immensely helpful.

A lot of things you mention are not found in the "My First Contribution" tutorial (ex. the weekly standups, the patchwork server, etc.)

What would you think about adding it as a new page to this site ? it would give it a little more visibility, maybe :)

Cheers!

Hi, @phil-blain

When I was starting out with Git I found your tutorial https://matheustavares.gitlab.io/posts/first-steps-contributing-to-git to be immensely helpful.

I'm glad to hear that! :)

What would you think about adding it as a new page to this site ? it would give it a little more visibility, maybe :)

Yeah, I think that would be really nice. Perhaps, to avoid duplicating the information, we could add a link to the tutorial? I think this could go at https://git.github.io/General-Microproject-Information/, in the paragraph that mentions Documentation/SubmittingPatches and the contribution process. (A link to Documentation/MyFirstContribution could also be added here.)

(Another place we could add a link, if folks like the idea, is at https://git-scm.com/community.)

Nevertheless, it shouldn't be hard to re-post the tutorial page, as it is also written in markdown, with jekyll.

Here is the source code for it: https://gitlab.com/MatheusTavares/matheustavares.gitlab.io/-/blob/master/_posts/2019-09-02-first-steps-contributing-to-git.md (Note that it does use some custom CSS classes, but in very few places)

Great, thanks @chriscool !

[phil-blain]

Super, thanks @chriscool. I think a list of ressources like this is a good idea.

Ok, I think I can close this.
