My first open‑source merge started with an ordinary evening

Описание и применение

Автор впервые внес вклад в Apache Grails, создав и отправив PR в CONTRIBUTING.md, после чего его запрос был принят. Это стало началом его стажировки и дальнейшей работы над руководствами Grails.

Задача

A newcomer wanted to contribute to open source but had no plan or experience.

Результат

The author’s first PR was merged, marking the start of an internship and ongoing contributions to Grails documentation.

Рабочий процесс

• Opened Apache Grails repository
• Identified a small issue in CONTRIBUTING.md
• Created a pull request
• Received merge notification

Доказательства

I opened Apache Grails, found a small issue, tried a PR… and went to sleep.

Источник

That PR was for a CONTRIBUTING.md, and it became my first‑ever open‑source merge.

Источник

Since then, I’ve been helping with something I genuinely care about: making Grails easier to learn.
