[RFC] Post/tutorial for newcomers

[Matheus Tavares Bernardino]

Hi, everyone

I've been writing a blog post based on what I learned during GSoC to
help other students here at FLUSP[1] start contributing as well.

In the meantime `Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt` was released,
so I've pointed my interested colleagues to it. But since I was
already pretty close to finishing the post, I decided to conclude it
anyway.

Here is the end result:
https://matheustavares.gitlab.io/posts/first-steps-contributing-to-git
If you have any comments or suggestions for it, please, let me know :)

Thanks,
Matheus

Hey Matheus,

Just gave a quick look at your post, and I find it awesome!  I think
it covers most of the pains new contributors may have. Great
initiative! It may be interesting to add a link on
https://git-scm.com/community, what do you think @peff ?

Thanks,
Pedro

This is amazing! Thank you for such painstaking work. I wish I had
this doc before doing my first steps at Git :)

Thank you, Olga. I'm glad to hear that :)

Thank you, Pedro! Also, if you have any suggestions for it, please,
let me know. (The "source" is here:
https://gitlab.com/MatheusTavares/matheustavares.gitlab.io)

Nice :) I think a link to `Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt`
could also be added to the "Contributing to Git" section.

Yes, I think either or both would be good. Patches welcome (here, or at
https://github.com/git/git-scm.com).

For some context: Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt was added
recently by peff (https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/pull/1362) and
can be seen at https://git-scm.com/docs/MyFirstContribution

But tbh I don't see how to reach to that page, there may be something
failing while indexing:
https://git-scm.com/search/results?search=MyFirstContribution

So links on https://git-scm.com/community would be very helpful for sure :)
