Hi @cesswairimu, @TildaDares, do you want to apply first-timer-only label to this issue? I figured that any variable currently and effectively used as "const" should be declared as such until there's such a need to revert to "let", perhaps due to code extension in the future. Many thanks!
Many thanks!
I'd like to try this!
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 underrepresented groups in free and open-source software!
We know that the process of creating a pull request is one of the biggest barriers for new contributors. This issue is for you π
If you have contributed before, consider leaving this one for someone new, and looking through our general help wanted issues. Thanks!
π€ 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.
