I am writing to express my keen interest in contributing to Git as part of the GSOC program. As I prepare to graduate, I am eager to contribute to open source development, and I believe that participating in GSoC with Git would be an excellent opportunity to kickstart this endeavor. For the microproject, I can update the file `t/t9803-git-p4-shell-metachars.sh` with the `test_path_*` asserts as required,the tests only have the checks at 6 locations which can be replaced with `test_path_exists`, `test_path_is_missing` and `test_path_is_file`, Please let me know if this is enough for a microproject. I am particularly interested in the "Move existing tests to a unit testing framework" project. I plan to familiarize myself with the testing framework, and the changes needed in the codebase for the project Regards Sanchit Jindal ``` ## Eric Sunshine, 2024-03-19 20:33 Subject: Re: [GSOC] Microproject: Use `test_path_is_*` functions in test scripts Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAPig%2BcS_L%3DCS7TQhrt5m8M%2BO-OsdH0oiZkttWp9SxdbZw0Cu6Q%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Tue, Mar 19, 2024 at 4:21 PM Sanchit Jindal wrote: > For the microproject, I can update the file > `t/t9803-git-p4-shell-metachars.sh` with the `test_path_*` asserts as > required,the tests only have the checks at 6 locations which can be > replaced with `test_path_exists`, `test_path_is_missing` and > `test_path_is_file`, Please let me know if this is enough for a > microproject. Utilizing `test_path_*` in t9803 would be suitable for a microproject. ``` ## Sanchit Jindal, 2024-03-20 18:51 Subject: Re: [GSOC] Microproject: Use `test_path_is_*` functions in test scripts Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAN7Jk_0Jhr3SvG6Sk%3D5BXt-W3UpSvOoenUBUZ_XieAdApoo3kQ%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Wed, 20 Mar 2024 at 02:04, Eric Sunshine wrote: > > On Tue, Mar 19, 2024 at 4:21 PM Sanchit Jindal wrote: > > For the microproject, I can update the file > > `t/t9803-git-p4-shell-metachars.sh` with the `test_path_*` asserts as > > required,the tests only have the checks at 6 locations which can be > > replaced with `test_path_exists`, `test_path_is_missing` and > > `test_path_is_file`, Please let me know if this is enough for a > > microproject. > > Utilizing `test_path_*` in t9803 would be suitable for a microproject.

Note that GitGitGadget identified a problem with your GitHub configuration which you'll need to correct, after which you can "/submit" the PR again. ```
