Good day,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Zodwa Phakathi from South Africa.
I am one of the Outreach applicants. I would like to participate in
the following project by the title of Rename detection and the
"range-diff" command in Git. I would like some advice on which
microproject I can participate in. I am interested in the Modernize a
test script microproject, Kindly advise if it is still available to
work on it and how to set up the project.

kind regards,
Zodwa.

Thanks for your interest in Git and welcome to the Git mailing list
and the Git project!

The "Modernize a test script microproject" is still available but some
people have already started modernizing the t7001, t7101, t7102 and
t7201 test script, so you will need to find a different test script
that needs to be modernized.

If you find such a test script, please let us know before starting to
work on it, so that we can validate that it's worth modernizing and so
that we can avoid someone else possibly working on the same script.

Best,
Christian.

First please try to reply using the same posting style
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style) as everyone on this
mailing list, which is replying inline instead of "top posting".

The tests are in the "t" directory of Git's source code. You can see
them for example here:

https://github.com/git/git/tree/master/t

You can also clone the whole repository as you will anyway need to
commit your changes in a repo before you can send them as email
patches to the mailing list.

Please see the following document for more explanations about contributing:

Best,
Christian.
