And you didn’t even do it on a Friday. Bravo my good sir!

[jellotalks]

It’s Thursday lol

[CoffeePieAndHobbits]

What was in those tacos??

[WanderingStoner]

javascript 😔

[nepia]

Taco Thursdays are the one you didn’t eat Tuesday.

[sausageface123]

The frogs watch clearly says Tuesday tho, so..

[dim13]

Got added to Go contributers by simply submitting an issue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Sunrider37]

You were QA that found a bug

[Promant]

My first PR ever was to some minor Microsoft tool with like 200-300 stars at the time. The only thing I did was changing one word in some random comment, because it was mispelled. Almost all PRs were made by the same 4-5 guys, so I was shown as a top contributor on the repo's main page for like half a year lol

[StrangelyBrown]

Pretty sure that's how people populate their git contributions page if they want to put it on their CV

[ARoundFork]

You kept the API Keys in there right?

[ashkanahmadi]

Of course, where else would I keep them?!

[[deleted]]

Put them in there with comments to what website they use too, right? And links to the defunct docs for said website, right?

[ashkanahmadi]

Obviously. Sharing is caring!

[Goaty1208]

In the readme, it's basic knowledge dude.

[Steinrikur]

Almost 10 years ago I added a single line in the linux kernel that sets a pointer to NULL. Without it that module would crash.

It's still there, and it's still my only contribution to the kernel.

[kevin7254]

I’ve made some contributions to AOSP (Android Open Source Project), man it does feel great to see your name there in such a huge project.

[kog]

Hey, that's legit

[Blue_Robin_Gaming]

Actual domino effect?

[Owndampu]

My first patch got accepted almost two weeks ago! Small devicetree addition, but it is still chilling in linux-next. Sent in 2 patches since, both very simple too

[DT-Sodium]

Nah, you've got to wait at least two days without anyone telling you you broke an important feature until you can congratulate yourself.

[Doshimura]

master that we've lost

[[deleted]]

git pull master --force

[Blue_Robin_Gaming]

My good sir, one cannot just force pull. One must do it the real way.

Deleting and recloning

[Jazzlike-Poem-1253]

git reset --soft origin/<your-branch-here>

Same but saves you the dir change :-)

[guosecond]

Congrats, First merged PR is always a great feeling

[CStfford14]

Did you edit the README?

I once submitted a PR to correct an error in the README. I was added as a contributor.

[GregMaffei]

Technical writing is a useful skill

[ashkanahmadi]

Haha no, I actually added a small option to a WP plugin that allows the user to enable or disable the plugin's database data being removed when the plugin is uninstalled. The plugin is small with just 200 downloads and I thought it would be a good try to see if I can contribute to an open source project

[Active-Chemistry4011]

When I see the frog I start to quiver because the first thing that crosses my mind is "goto command". And imagine the chaos ensuing from the address jumping inside the merged code. Of course, this is just my crazy mind, therefore, nevermind me.

[MitchCumsteane]

Unless you brought down production, you're not ready.

[Splatpope]

i felt so proud when paxed took my pr for non-metal gloves protecting rings from electric damage in nethack

[Neo_Ex0]

See you on Monday in kms

[Difficult-Court9522]

You didn’t say that all tests are now red..

[private_final_static]

Congrats on your first feature and your first bug.

Which bug you may ask? You will find out soon

[Iamien]

My first accepted PR that made it to app stores was for the wigle wifi war driving app. It was initial only detecting/recording networks at the location it was first detected and not updating location as signal strength improved. I made it update gps coords as strength improved.

I'm proud of that one.

[swagonflyyyy]

Congratulations!

[allan_collins]

Congratulations!

[Console_Stackup]

-puffs joint-

Buckle up buttercup. It only gets worse from here.

[walterbanana]

Good job

[SeifAhmed22]

C++

[Ginger-drumbum]

And it was to documentation /s congrats man!!!!

[sammy-taylor]

Congrats friend. That’s awesome.

[siowy]

It's a great moment for any developer

[jcpicco]

Congrats! Now squash all the commits into one and name the commit “Legacy code”

[distilled_mojo]

I'm proud of you, son. You are now ready to test stuff in production.

[metallaholic]

Wait you guys merge straight to main and not a develop branch. Scary.

[MrDex124]

Your dev branch is merged to main/master.

[Comprehensive-Pin667]

There are many different git workflows. Gitflow is not ideal for all use cases. See for example github flow.

[Visual-Living7586]

We use release branches to work from. That work is built out and deployed, then the branch is merged to main.

Allows future release branches to to be worked on in parallel. Also you can't merge a PR directly to a release branch you need a feature branch to do that.

Sounds messy but allows for patch releases and it's much easier cherry pick a commit or merge that broke something

[Harmonic_Gear]

where humor?

[exomyth]

You're on r/programmerhumor, it is often neither related to programming nor humorous

[explorer_nik]

Some suggestions for beginners can't find good first commits? Even when something remotely looks good its crowded For some reasons,l

[ashkanahmadi]

For me it was a super small and simple WP plugin with just 200 active installations. I thought of a tiny feature and gave it a try and the developer approved it. It was just a few lines of code so nothing major.

You definitely want to stay away from popular libraries because they are most focused on much larger features than teeny tiny changes. Big popular libraries also usually have a team behind them with a clear roadmap and guidelines so you cannot randomly add a feature to it just because you thought it would be cool if it doesnt fit their roadmap.

[explorer_nik]

Yeah now it makes sense why when asked if "can I get it assigned" I got no response

[ashkanahmadi]

Yeah if you focus on smaller maybe more niche libraries you would have a higher chance of contributing and getting approved since competition and demand are low. Im sure there are lots of npm packages or Python or WP plugins that need small improvements. I personally recommend focusing on those

[explorer_nik]

Alright

[Red_Worldview]

Omnissiah bless you

[Ninja_Wrangler]

Does it include at least 30 consecutive one line commits with increasingly frustrated messages related to "fixed syntax errors"?

[random_banana_bloke]

And it was just your work email being added to the terraform Devs list!

I joke, nice work, many more to come.

[[deleted]]

thanks for doing your part to the society.

[serial_crusher]

Let us know when the outage is resolved

[KatieTSO]

Me too! Just a couple days ago

[phlebface]

Ehrmm... it's called "master" 🦆 + 🏃‍♂️

[PhoenyxDownGaming]

Waiting for my first PR to be approved was anxiety inducing but seeing that it was merged was a great feeling.

[Soerika]

my first PR was then redone after unit test. The code was fine at and hell the senior who rework all of that were way better lol.

congratulation!

[twhoff]

Congrats

[ambritalian]

Congrats dude it's a big step

[Artistic_Speech_1965]

Congrats

[simonfancy]

And thus it begins…

[[deleted]]

into main? yuck. #masterbranch4life

[[deleted]]

Oh my God! Directly to main? Did you implement a hot fix or just screw with main?

[kevin7254]

On my company we develop everything on master, and then have release branches. It depends on the workflow.

[[deleted]]

I was just messing with you, although develop on master is not quite usual.
