Description

@Asartea

Complete the following REQUIRED checkboxes:

  • I have thoroughly read and understand The Odin Project Contributing Guide
  • The title of this issue follows the location for request: brief description of request format, e.g. Exercises: Add exercise on XYZ

The following checkbox is OPTIONAL:

  • I would like to be assigned this issue to work on it

1. Description of the Feature Request:
There are still regularly people who submit personal solutions to all of the various exercise repos. We do mention that those repos don't accept solutions in the README.md, but that line is unhighlighted, at the bottom, and easily missable. Furthermore due to the fork > clone > solve > upload to personal repo workflow that a learner is likely to use when solving the exercises, they will get a big yellow/orangeish banner above both their own repo and the forked repo with a call out to Contribute now. Adding an additional line somewhere in the PR template (<!-- WARNING: Do not submit personal solutions to this repo. Pull Requests containing personal solutions will be summarily closed and will not be merged --> ?) would provide another layer of catching a learners eyes before they submit a superflous PR

2. Acceptance Criteria:

  • Some form of warning is added to all PR templates in the various exercise repos
