So what's the proper etiquette for a total greenie wanting to fix some typos? 😁😅
Discussion
I just reply with a correction like an old-school chat*
Sorry, I was too vague. I meant a typo in a web client and going about fixing it on github.
Ooh lol. If it's a typo in the code, you can fix it and commit. There are so many potential ways to fix a typo using git. Hopefully you don't need to rebase.
I know so little but I think what I'm looking at will be easy... but I've never done it & I'm unsure if I should just try to do it or if I should bring it up to the dev... because I have no history whatsoever aside from reporting 1 issue...
But I want to fix it because I'm trying to learn 😁😂
That's pretty admirable 🤙
So what have you done so far and where's the typo?
I've done nothing but study a lot. The typo is on a confirmation message. I found it in the code & I just don't know if I should just try to fix or ask first lol
Ok, I get you. What you can do is go to it's GitHub repository and search the code for that typo. I think you should be able to search all of the files for it.
Then what you do is either open an issue and write in where in the code the typo is or, even better, fork the code into your own GitHub profile, find the typo again, edit the file, and fix it. Once the change is made, you should see a way to commit the change. Then go back to the dev's repository and open a Pull Request (PR). You'll be able to see the change you made and give a little description for the developer so they can approve it.
