Ship a first pull request

You get: a pull request that passes the checks and is ready for review.

Time: about 30 minutes for a small change.

Before you start

• The app runs on your machine: Run TextStack locally.
• You have a GitHub account.
• You read the contributor agreement.

Two words

• A pull request (PR) is your change, offered to the project for review.
• CI is the set of checks GitHub runs on every pull request, by itself.

The three lessons

1. Pick the work: an issue, your own copy, a branch.
2. Change and check: the change, the checks, the commit.
3. Open the pull request: push, describe, name the area.

This is story 8: a contributor changes TextStack.
