I built a site where your first open source contribution is adding yourself to it
Описание и применение
Сайт FREE-OPEN позволяет новичкам сделать первый пулл-реквест, добавив себя в JSON‑файл, после чего их карточка появляется на живом сайте.
Задача
Many people never make their first pull request because the repo they pick has no visible reward for contributing.
Результат
The site demonstrates that a minimal, visible contribution loop can encourage first‑time pull requests, with 19 forks already recorded.
Рабочий процесс
- Fork the FREE-OPEN repo
- Clone the fork locally
- Run
npm install - Create a new branch
- Edit
src/data/contributors.jsonto add a new object with name, github, linkedin, and twitter - Run
npm run devand verify the card appears at/contributors - Commit the change
- Push the branch
- Open a pull request
- Merge the pull request
- View the live site to see the new contributor card
Доказательства
You fork it, add yourself to one JSON file, and open a pull request. When it is merged, your card appears on the contributors page of the live site.
Adding one object to one file means you cannot really break anything, and if two people do it at the same time the conflict is a one-line fix.
