I'm Linus Arver from Google. I'll be contributing toward the libification efforts in the near future. Meanwhile, I noticed a formatting error in the HTML output of the MyFirstContribution doc (hence this patch). I am also the author of this old patch series from 2014 [https://lore.kernel.org/git/1407518960-6203-1-git-send-email-linusarver@xxxxxxxxx/] and am happy to return to hacking on Git. :) Published-As: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/releases/tag/pr-1510%2Flistx%2Ffix-doc-formatting-v1 Fetch-It-Via: git fetch https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git pr-1510/listx/fix-doc-formatting-v1 Pull-Request: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/1510 Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt b/Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt index ccfd0cb5f3e..9c64bf58757 100644 --- a/Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt +++ b/Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt @@ -1164,7 +1164,7 @@ After you run this command, `format-patch` will output the patches to the `psuh/ directory, alongside the v1 patches.

We will use a pattern like -"psuh/v2-*.patch" (not "psuh/*.patch", which would match v1 and v2 patches). +`psuh/v2-*.patch` (not `psuh/*.patch`, which would match v1 and v2 patches). Edit your cover letter again. Now is a good time to mention what's different between your last version and now, if it's something significant.
