In the meantime `Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt` was released, so I've pointed my interested colleagues to it. But since I was already pretty close to finishing the post, I decided to conclude it anyway. Here is the end result: https://matheustavares.gitlab.io/posts/first-steps-contributing-to-git If you have any comments or suggestions for it, please, let me know :) Thanks, Matheus [1]: https://flusp.ime.usp.br ``` ## pedro rijo, 2019-09-03 07:23 Subject: Re: [RFC] Post/tutorial for newcomers Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAPMsMoB%3D8M2Nivf%3D20bLEnVhN_U9f0gmG6iZHgc1MJ_TvKB3Ww%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Hey Matheus, Just gave a quick look at your post, and I find it awesome! I think it covers most of the pains new contributors may have. Great initiative! It may be interesting to add a link on https://git-scm.com/community, what do you think @peff ?

Nice :) I think a link to `Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt` could also be added to the "Contributing to Git" section. > Thanks, > Pedro > > > Matheus Tavares Bernardino escreveu no dia > terça, 3/09/2019 à(s) 03:34: > > > > Hi, everyone > > > > I've been writing a blog post based on what I learned during GSoC to > > help other students here at FLUSP[1] start contributing as well. > > > > In the meantime `Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt` was released, > > so I've pointed my interested colleagues to it.

Yes, I think either or both would be good. Patches welcome (here, or at https://github.com/git/git-scm.com). -Peff ``` ## pedro rijo, 2019-09-04 20:18 Subject: Re: [RFC] Post/tutorial for newcomers Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAPMsMoC604_tj3hyP9XCMZu45X-6yHAiQ5TM0nGckbzy%3Djb2VQ%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20190904194102.GA31805@sigill.intra.peff.net> ``` For some context: Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt was added recently by peff (https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/pull/1362) and can be seen at https://git-scm.com/docs/MyFirstContribution But tbh I don't see how to reach to that page, there may be something failing while indexing: https://git-scm.com/search/results?search=MyFirstContribution So links on https://git-scm.com/community would be very helpful for sure :) Jeff King escreveu no dia quarta, 4/09/2019 à(s) 20:41: > > On Tue, Sep 03, 2019 at 09:59:13PM -0300, Matheus Tavares Bernardino wrote: > > > > It may be interesting to add a link on > > > https://git-scm.com/community, what do you think @peff ? > > > > Nice :) I think a link to `Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt` > > could also be added to the "Contributing to Git" section. > > Yes, I think either or both would be good.
