Good First Issue or Help Wanted
They're usually the best to begin
Let everyone know you're gonna work on that issue by writing a comment.
You now need a Fork of the repository.
Create a fork
You can create one with the button on the top right corner.
Clone your fork locally, do your changes in a new branch
and push them back to the original repo.
You will now see a button to create a Pull Request, click on it.
Fill in the additional details and it's done!
Now let's wait for the maintainers to approve a merge.
Properly contributing to Open Source takes way more time, passion and dedication.
Pressing buttons on GitHub is the easy part.
