Fix a bug
When: May 16 - May 30
Now, do we do this together as a group or break up into smaller groups? I would like to keep us in at least pairs for this.
-
In your group, decide on a bug on Lighthouse
- If you want something easier, look for ones tagged "possible-easy-contribution"
- Leave a comment on the bug saying that your group has taken it
- Make changes, test, commit with descriptions as you go
- When done, push to your github account
-
Do a pull request
- I usually put a callback to the bug fix by listing its number in the pull request/commit. Example
- Comment on the bug on Lighthouse that there is a pull request
Then, let us know as a comment below:
Did you run into any stumbling blocks? How'd you overcome them? What'd you learn? Any ideas for how to improve the process? Did you like pairing/grouping? What's the next bug/task you're going to tackle?
