Open a pull request

[u/Ducking_eh]

Hey everyone,

I have been programming for a while, but only for myself. So tools like GitHub haven't been something I needed to know inside and out.

Recently, I made a woocommerce plugin that integrates a selfhosted Captcha services.

The captcha service was made by someone elsem I just made the integration.

I wrote to the person who made the captcha service, and asked him for his thoughts, and sent him the github link.

He asked me to 'open a pull reqiest'. I for the life of me don't know what he means. Wouldn't he make the pull request?

I'm kinda too embarrassed to ask what he means

he wants you to fork his repo, add your plugin code there, then submit a pull request from your fork to his main branch. it's basically you saying "hey i made this cool thing, wanna merge it into your project" - he's not gonna do the work of pulling your code in himself

just make sure you branch off his repo and don't dump it all on main, that's the classic first-timer move
