Hi, this is a first-timers-only issue. This means we've worked to make it more legible to folks who either haven't contributed to our codebase before, or even folks who haven't contributed to open source before.
If that's you, we're interested in helping you take the first step and can answer questions and help you out as you do. Note that we're especially interested in contributions from people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software!
We know that the process of creating a pull request is the biggest barrier for new contributors. This issue is for you 💝
If you have contributed before, consider leaving this one for someone new, and looking through our general help wanted issues. Thanks!
🤔 What you will need to know.
Nothing. This issue is meant to welcome you to Open Source :) We are happy to walk you through the process.

@AnthoniaOkafor Hi, just checking if you've gotten stuck on this at all, or if I could help in any way? Thanks! We are starting to request that contributors show some sort of activity towards a first-timers-only issue after claiming it within a week because there is high demand for them. (whether that is asking for more time, help, opening a PR, etc.)

Hello @sashadev-sky. I'll open a PR today. Thanks

Hi @sashadev-sky. I have successfully resolved my FTO issue and pushed it to my fork. However I already opened a PR last week. Do I open a new PR or continue with my first PR? https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/pull/4961#issue-259593726
If I'm continuing with the first PR are there changes to be made anywhere in it? Thanks
AnthoniaOkafor

@AnthoniaOkafor, congrats on opening your PR.
Am still finding it difficult to run the repo locally so that I will start working.
Are you on windows or Linux?
Again am in Lagos, will want to sync with you to put me through.

Hey @EngrEric, thanks. My laptop runs on Windows but I run the app on Cloud9. If you are finding it challenging running it locally, you could try Cloud9.
AnthoniaOkafor

Hey @EngrEric, we can send you an invite to Cloud9. It would be free to use then.
cc @jywarren.

Also @EngrEric , I remember you mentioned about the mysql error in gitter channel . If you are still having that same issue then you can update your local master branch by
git checkout master - to checkout master branch
git pull https://github.com/publiclab/plots2 master - to update your local branch
After that, you can update your feature-branch i.e., branch on which you have worked on using
git checkout [feature-branch-name] - to checkout that branch
git rebase master - to update that branch
rails s - run server
If you haven't made any feature-branch till now, you can do that by:(Do this after updating local master branch only otherwise you have to rebase the branch formed in this step)
git checkout -b [feature-branch-name]
rails s

Ok @gauravano, I'll do just that. Many thanks
AnthoniaOkafor

@AnthoniaOkafor if the changes you make are still relevant to the first PR you opened then continue pushing them there. All you have to do is add the changes to that branch and push it git push origin <yourBranchName> and it'll update there!
Otherwise you create a new branch for a different feature or something addressing a different issue and push that up. Work on one branch will not effect work on the other and your local repo will update to reflect which branch you are on.

@AnthoniaOkafor I think @gauravano has been following your original PR closer so he can confirm but it looks like he wants you to push your changes there
His comments above were to help resolve @EngrEric's question
