[PATCH v2 4/5] MyFirstContribution: reference "The cover letter" in GitGitGadget section

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Philippe Blain <levraiphilippeblain@xxxxxxxxx>

The "Sending Patches via GitGitGadget" section mentions that the PR
title and description will be used as the cover letter, but does not
explain what is a cover letter or what should be included in it.

Refer readers to the new "The cover letter" section added in a previous
commit.
