Hi, this is a first-timers-only issue. This means we've worked to make it more legible to folks who either haven't contributed to our codebase before, or even folks who haven't contributed to open source before.

If that's you, we're interested in helping you take the first step and can answer questions and help you out as you do. Note that we're especially interested in contributions from people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software!

We know that the process of creating a pull request is the biggest barrier for new contributors. This issue is for you 💝

If you have contributed before, consider leaving this one for someone new, and looking through our general help wanted issues. Thanks!

🤔 What you will need to know.

Nothing. This issue is meant to welcome you to Open Source :) We are happy to walk you through the process.

📋 Step by Step

  • 🙋 Claim this issue: Comment below. If someone else has claimed it, ask if they've opened a pull request already and if they're stuck -- maybe you can help them solve a problem or move it along!

  • 📝 Update The file PREREQUISITES.md shows

Then, use RVM to install version 2.4.4 of Ruby. (v1.9.3+ should also work):

rvm install 2.4.4

It should be changed to

Then, use RVM to install version 2.6.6 of Ruby. (v1.9.3+ should also work):

rvm install 2.6.6

Because the Gemfile specifies version 2.6.6

See this page for some help in taking your first steps!

💬⏰ - We encourage contributors to be respectful to the community and provide an update within a week of claiming a first-timers-only issue. We're happy to keep it assigned to you as long as you need if you update us with a request for more time or help, but if we don't see any activity a week after you claim it we may reassign it to give someone else a chance. Thank you in advance!

Is someone else already working on this?

🔗- We encourage contributors to link to the original issue in their pull request so all users can easily see if someone's already started on it.

👥- If someone seems stuck, offer them some help! Otherwise, take a look at some other issues you can help with. Thanks!

@cesswairimu I took a quick look at the plots Git workflow page and just need to make sure I understand one thing properly. when I am pulling from the source (and rebasing to make sure my local branch is up to date), am i supposed to be using the master branch or the main branch?

Yes you are pulling from upstream main assuming this is the publiclab/plots2 remote. The base branch is main. Thanks
