Generally, this is a bad approach to take for absolute-beginner documents like this one. Even if it "should" be obvious, why not just say it? Some skills - like how to examine the compiler errors from your C compiler and fix your code accordingly - are a necessary prerequisite to be useful on the Git project; other skills - like how to use IRC - are not, and we can teach them, especially in a guide like this :) But anyway it's moot, as direct link does seem to work. > > Signed-off-by: Atharva Raykar > --- > > My heuristic for determining "most of the regulars are on Libera Chat" is the > fact that the last biweekly standup happened there. > > Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt | 8 ++++---- > 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt b/Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt > index af0a9da62e..cd9e2069d4 100644 > --- a/Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt > +++ b/Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt > @@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ Veteran contributors who are especially interested in helping mentor newcomers > are present on the list.

It looks like Libera also supports this functionality.

Same as above. Thanks very much for sending the patch. I haven't had time to address it myself. - Emily
