💡Format this Issue Into a First Timers Issue

This has been marked as a good candidate for becoming a first-timers-only issue like these, meaning that it's simple, self-contained, and with some extra formatting✍️, could be a great entry point for a new contributor. If you're familiar enough with this code, please consider reformatting it as a first-timers-only issue, and then ping @publiclab/reviewers to get it labeled🏷. Or, if this is not your first time, try to solve it yourself🧑‍💻!


Hi, this is a first-timers-only issue. This means we've worked to make it more legible to folks who either haven't contributed to our codebase before, or even folks who haven't contributed to open source before.

If that's you, we're interested in helping you take the first step and can answer questions and help you out as you do. Note that we're especially interested in contributions from people from underrepresented groups in free and open-source software!

We know that the process of creating a pull request is one of the biggest barrier for new contributors. This issue is for you 💝

If you have contributed before, consider leaving this one for someone new and looking through our general help wanted issues. Thanks!

🤔 What you will need to know.

Nothing. This issue is meant to welcome you to Open Source :) We are happy to walk you through the process.

Claiming an issue

Unless the issue is marked as reserved for someone, you can just say "I'd like to try this!" and then you've claimed it - no need to wait for someone to assign it to you. Just be sure you link your pull request (PR) to this issue so we can see where your solution is.

And open one early if possible - even before you've completed it with additional commits - and others can help you figure out any issues you may face.

  • 📝 Update the file $FILENAME in the $REPO repository (press the little pen Icon) and edit the line as shown below.

See this page for some help in taking your first steps!

💬⏰ - We encourage contributors to be respectful to the community and provide an update within a week of claiming the first-timers-only issue. We're happy to keep it assigned to you as long as you need it if you update us with a request for more time or help, but if we don't see any activity a week after you claim it we may reassign it to give someone else a chance. Thank you in advance!
