Dear mentors, I hope you are well.I am among the applicants for the 2022 GSOC program. I was a bit delayed in my application, thus couldn't share the proposal with you in advance. I am however taking this opportunity to do so, since better late than never. I have joined the programming and open-source platform and community less than 3 months ago and have gained interest in working with git. I am still currently completing the required microproject for submission. I would love to join the git sparse-checkout project to not only grow as an open-source contributor but to also help others who are currently and likely to experience the challenges I have and may face in the future. It is my hope that I will be received well. Thank you in advance.
