Welcome to My First Contribution!

This project is designed to help you make your first open-source contributions and earn the "Pull Shark" (🦈) achievement!

I will guide you through the two Pull Requests (PRs) needed to earn this badge.


Task 1: Add Your Name (Your First PR)

Your first task is to add your name to my contributors list. This is PR 1 of 2 required for the badge.

Step-by-step guide:

  1. Click the "Task 1" button below - This will take you to GitHub where you can create a new file in the contributors folder (you won't need to clone or set up anything!).

  2. In the "Name your file" box, replace YOUR_USERNAME.md with your GitHub username followed by .md

    • Example: If your username is john_doe, type john_doe.md
    • If your username is dharmanan, type dharmanan.md
  3. In the large text area, write a simple introduction about yourself

    • Example: Hi, I'm John Doe from Canada!
    • Or: Hi, I'm Sarah from the United States!
    • Feel free to add your location, interests, or anything you'd like to share!
    • Just click green button commit changes
  4. Scroll down and click "Propose new file", then on the next page click "Create pull request"

    • Don't change anything else - just click the green buttons!
  5. Wait for me to review and merge your pull request

    • I'll check your contribution and merge it into the main project
    • This usually takes a few hours, but I'll get to it as soon as I can
    • Once merged, your name and avatar will automatically appear on this page!

👇 Click This Button for Task 1 👇

Task 1: Add Your Name


Task 2: Add Your Profile (Your Second PR)

This is your second and final task! After this PR is merged, you will have earned the badge.

Step-by-step guide:

  1. Wait for your Task 1 PR to be merged first - Once I merge your first contribution, you'll see your name appear on this page. Then you can start Task 2!

  2. Click the "Task 2" button below - Just like Task 1, this will open GitHub's file creation page for the profiles folder.

  3. Name the file YOUR_USERNAME.md - Use the same username as before

    • Example: If you used john_doe.md in Task 1, use john_doe.md here too
    • It's okay to use the same filename because it's in a different folder (profiles instead of contributors)
  4. In the text area, write your GitHub profile link

    • Example: My GitHub profile: https://github.com/john_doe
    • Replace john_doe with your actual GitHub username
    • Just click green button commit changes
  5. Click "Propose new file", then "Create pull request" - Again, just click the green buttons!

  6. Wait for me to merge this PR too - Once this second PR is merged, you will have 2 merged PRs, which will earn you the "Pull Shark" (🦈) badge!

Task 2: Add Your Profile


🏆 Final Task: Create Your "Trophy" Repo!

Congratulations on completing both tasks! You should now have (or will soon receive) the "Pull Shark" (�) badge on your GitHub profile.

It's time to show it off! Let's create a new repository on your own profile to celebrate your achievement.

  1. Click the Button Below. This will take you to a page to create a new "trophy" repo on your account, using a template I made.

    👇 Click to Create Your Trophy Repo 👇

    Create Trophy Repo

  2. On the new page:

    • Give your new repo a name (like my-first-github-badge).
    • Make sure it's Public.
    • Click "Create repository".
  3. You're done! You now have a new repo on your account with a pre-filled README. You can now edit it to add your name and a screenshot of your actual badge!
