Here's a funny story from when I started coding. I was working on my first-ever pull request for a tutorial designed to help first-time contributors participate in a simple and easy project. It's meant to get you more comfortable using GitHub and make your first open source contribution. Quick and easy, right?
I forked the repository, cloned it to my local machine, made my changes, and committed them. Feeling pretty confident, I hit submit, thinking everything was fine. Then came the comment: "Why is your PR trying to change all 11k lines of code?" 😳
After a brief moment of panic, I couldn't figure out the problem, so I decided to start over. I deleted the whole thing and did it again. The second time, everything went smoothly, and the PR got merged without any issues.
Looking back, it's kinda funny. If you’re a beginner learning to use GitHub, you can check out the repo here: Contribution Link.
