2 years ago Invitation sent to join the GitHub Organisation. Welcome to the community 🎉
Don't forget after accepting to make it public so it appears on your GitHub profile for everyone else to see. You can do this by finding your name in the GitHub organisation list and change the dropdown to public https://github.com/orgs/EddieHubCommunity/people
Tips for practising:
Customise your GitHub profile, here is a course on that: https://www.eddiejaoude.io/course-github-profile-landing
Practice repo, instructions on how to add your name to the README https://github.com/EddieHubCommunity/hacktoberfest-practice
Remember contributing to open source is not just about code, it's about collaboration, communication and adding value
I hope that helps

Additional Context
I just watched the video Eddie did with CS Dojo and the one he did with FreecodeCamp (I kind of binge-watched most of his youtube videos as well 😅). I've been wanting to do more open source work and the way he explained things really made things a lot more approachable. I was always afraid that if I did start doing open source I would mess up people's entire codebase. But what I recently learned is that if you want to learn the best way to learn is to learn with others. So I hope I can join and be a helpful member of the community.
