@thegreyelephant, I'm quite elated about your PR. I wanna evolve this project to addresses various problems faced by first-time contributors. I'd love to learn about your journey in open source community, the problems, pain points you had etc.
Could you explain how you felt when you went through the tutorial, made a PR and learned that I merged it?

Hi @Roshanjossey
I've been using Linux for many years and I am dabbling with moving into coding. When I went through this tutorial, I felt the README was easy to follow. I ran into two issues that were self inflicted! One issue was that I didn't set up my git config so my username and hostname of my computer were used. I just followed the git instructions of editing my git config and then running git commit --amend --reset-author.

The second issue is that when I did a git push origin , I didn't add the correct name for the branch I created earlier (I just did 'git push origin thegreyelephant' when I should have done 'git push origin add-thegreyelephant').

I think you learn more when things don't go exactly right and you have to troubleshoot a bit. Thanks for a fun first contribution!

@thegreyelephant, I’d urge you to continue contributing to other open source projects.
We also have a slack team to help/mentor people trying to contribute to open source projects.
