Description
General overview of your idea.
Maybe I am being dense, but if I am not mistaken. In chapter 2.2 under staging modified files. CONTRIBUTING.md is brought up, yet no such file has been created at this point and neither has it been staged yet.
Doing so is very straightforward but...
Let’s change a file that was already tracked. If you change a previously tracked file called
CONTRIBUTING.mdand then run your git status command again, you get something that looks like this:
...does not imply that you need to do these steps. Rather it implies that the reader has missed a step and should already have a created and staged CONTRIBUTING.md file.
A solution would be a snippet of code to create and stage CONTRIBUTING.md or explicit instructions to make and stage such a file in the text.
It goes without saying but thanks for the great resource. :)
What problem will this solve?
re-enable the reader to follow along with the instructions provided by the book.
Have you thought about other solutions?
Another solution would be to more explicitely tell the user to create and stage the CONTRIBUTING.md themselves.
