I notice that the title of the message and the immediate topic you discuss in the body of the message do not match. I presume that the topic on the title is what you prefer to work on if the unit testing framework is ready by the time Outreachy program starts, and the mention about "do not clobber exit code of Git with pipes in the tests" is your "dip the tip of a toe in water" microproject?

Welcome to the Git development community.

Do you have a single word name? If so please disregard the below, but in case "Luma" is just a nickname (e.g. like I am introducing myself to my Git friends "Hi, I am Gitster!") you use online, please read on.

For signing off your patches, we'd prefer to see your real name used, as Signed-off-by: is meant to have legal significance. And because we also expect the authorship identity to match the name/e-mail of the sign-off, it would mean your patch submissions are expected to look like:

	From: Luma <ach.lumap@gmail.com>
	Subject: ... title of the patch goes here ...

	... body of the proposed commit log message goes here...

	Signed-off-by: Luma <ach.lumap@gmail.com>

but "Luma" replaced with your full real name.

Thanks.
