Am I a dev now?

[sunrat]

I just did my first ever PR on GitHub, a tiny edit to the RealTimeConfigQuickScan for optimising a system for professional audio. Took longer to work out how to do push request and set up a local repo for the code than to edit the code.

Does this mean I am 1337 now?

Possibly

[abarbarian]

Certainly are.

 

If you can work out how to open , set up and use a Git Hub account you you automatically belong to the coders club.

Turned out to be easier than expected to clone repo, edit, and send pull request.

git config --global xxxxxx@gmail.com
git config --global user.name RattusSolarus
cd git-repo/
git clone https://github.com/RattusSolarus/realtimeconfigquickscan.git
git remote -v
git status
git add SwappinessCheck.pm
git commit
git push

"SwappinessCheck.pm" is the Perl file I edited, and had the commit accepted!

A couple of years ago I made a whole distro, studio respin of MX, and put it on Sourceforge. Had over 100 downloads.

I'm currently preparing to turn my current multimedia production distro, a Buster/KDE netinstall erection, into a live installable image. There hasn't been a KDE media production distro since KX Studio in 2014. The world is crying out for it.
