-The SaveDesktop application is written in Python 3 using [GTK 4.0](https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/) and [LibAdwaita](https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/main/index.html) libraries, so if you have knowledge of Python and, ideally, in combination with these libraries, your contributions are welcome!

 ### So how to proceed?
-1. Fork this repository *(see the [Github docs](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/fork-a-repo) for more information)*
-2. Go to your fork of this repository *(e.g., https://github.com/<your_username>/SaveDesktop)*
-3. Make changes you want
-4. If you want to test your changes, you can proceed as follows:
-    - clone your fork
