Some sentences and words are not in their correct cases. For example like starting a sentence with a lower case whereas it should be in upper case. I want to go through the entire code base and correct the cases of these letters to improve on readability. I will also use this opportunity to learn the source codes and familiarize myself with the code base. If its a nice idea, someone should please give me the go ahead. I will be waiting. Regards Alangi Derick Ndimnain ``` ## Stefan Beller, 2015-05-01 15:35 Subject: Re: Improving Readability of the entire Codebase Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAGZ79kbORH6S5Cq03tRU0eHdu75QF1phZFiDsyiFQ%2Bsg_2V83g%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Fri, May 1, 2015 at 8:08 AM, Alangi Derick wrote: > Hello, > While reading the source codes of Git, i found something.

That's usually the wrong approach within the Git community as there are no people who give the go ahead. Just do it and once you have some results these can be discussed on the mailing list. > > Regards > Alangi Derick Ndimnain > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html ``` ## Alangi Derick, 2015-05-01 15:37 Subject: Re: Improving Readability of the entire Codebase Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAKB%2BoNs2iaXSSoiu4-OMT7VgSYdigU0k%2BgT0NMqSBw1pRZhe0A%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Thanks so much, i am learning the community, so that is why i am making a lot of mistakes. Thanks for the correction. I have started it already and submitted a patch. Can you have a look and tell me something?
