First Linux Kernel Pull Request

Created my first PR on the Linux Kernel Add .DS_Store to .gitignore #971 Open IroncladDev wants to merge 1 commit into torvalds:master from IroncladDev:patch-1 Conversation 0 Commits 1 Checks 0 Files changed 1 IroncladDev commented now This change aims to improve the developer experience for MacOS users who are working on this project ignore .DS_STORE Verified This branch has no conflicts with the base branch Only those with write access to this repository can merge pull requests.

A GitHub pull request proposes adding the macOS .DS_Store file to the Linux kernel’s .gitignore. The joke is that this trivial, platform-specific change is presented as someone’s first contribution to the Linux kernel, humorously exaggerating the achievement and the mismatch between the grand project and the tiny fix. It is used as a reaction to a beginner making an overly modest or misplaced contribution. EN: A GitHub pull request proposes adding the macOS .DS_Store file to the Linux kernel’s .gitignore.
