Congrats!
BTW, love your PR. I am going to request a change before it gets merged, but it's the perfect addition to the README.
Congrats! Hopefully I can hop on board, too.
same! just gotta do my rails hello world and I'll be ready right? :P
Definitely!
This post pushes me to at least download a run the project locally...
Absolutely! I had no problems at all. My local env is on a mac on which I'm running Postgres. Let me know how ot goes!
Congrats there Arit~.
I dug through to see where the PR was. And it was how I got started as well a documentation change.
I can empathize with it as I had trouble getting one of the open source sites run on "Windows" to make a simple markdown file change.
One thing led to another, I ended up doing another PR to make it run on Windows. It was quite tough to get it working (as I was knew to it).
Would you be able to share the frustration you had and how you got over it 😉
And Hacktoberfest 2018 is happening soon and hope it can give you more confidence doing PRs 😎
gratz!
Congrats on doing that PR with less frustrations! I get that so much :) Open source can be very intimidating and frustrating. Glad you didn't gave up!
I'm glad too sis! 😁
I found my first PR super stressful trying to make it perfect... it wasn't 😜
Cool stuff @zhadyrassyn on getting your first PR merged! Documentation is important for projects and it's a great way to ease into a project.
If you're interested, here's a fun site to see what a person's 1st PR was. I remember trying to make a perfect first PR... it wasn't ;)

Nice tool! :) According to it my first Github PR was adding documentation for the Potion programming language in 2010. But that must be wrong, since I have a bug fix commit in there that is more than 1 year older. _why's original repository got removed and some history may have been lost in the process...
