Yes, I got the same conclusion, from the discussion between you and
Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason. So, I remove the change to MyFirstContribution.txt.
It sounds like the best plan for now.
But, I agreed on some point with Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason, we have to try
to recommending also free alternatives.
And, yes, a new file is the best option. So, I keep my change somewhere, and
I will come again with a new patch but not in its thread because it seems to
be out of the scope now.

I think, it can help a newcomer, but not necessarily people with a
lot of experience on various projects. But, we can give it a try and
see where it goes.
Thanks everyone for your reviews, your ideas and help.

Add useful links in contrib/vscode/README.md to help the user to
configure VS Code and how to use the debugging feature.
- Add a mention to the README and the init.sh in Documentation/
- MyFirstContribution.txt and a part to convince a newcomer that VS Code
- can be helpful.

-+
-+The contrib/vscode/init.sh script creates configuration files that enable
-+several valuable VS Code features. See contrib/vscode/README.md for more
-+information on using the script.
-+
-+In particular, this script enables using the VS Code visual debugger, including
-+setting breakpoints, logpoints, conditional breakpoints in the editor.
-+In addition, it includes the ability to see the call stack, the line of code that
-+is executing and more. It is possible to visualize the variables and their values
-+and change them during execution.
-+
-+In sum, using the built-in debugger can be particularly helpful to understand
-+how Git works internally.
-+It can be used to isolate certain parts of code, with this you may be able to ask
-+more precises question when you are stuck. (See getting-help sections).
