Read Original

This article provides a practical walkthrough for making a first open-source pull request. It details the process from finding a bug in a project you use (like a CSS issue in Jekyll's theme), analyzing and fixing it, to forking the repo and following contribution guidelines. It aims to demystify the process and encourage newcomers to participate in open-source software development.
