What is the "Pull Shark" Achievement?
The Pull Shark achievement is awarded when you have 2 pull requests merged in public repositories. It’s a way to recognize your contributions to open-source projects.
Steps to Unlock "Pull Shark":
Find Public Repositories:
Look for public repositories that accept contributions. You can search for issues labeled "good first issue" or "help wanted" to find beginner-friendly projects.-
Make Meaningful Contributions:
- Fork the repository, make your changes, and submit a pull request.
- Ensure your contribution follows the repository’s guidelines.
-
Get Your Pull Requests Merged:
- Once your pull requests are reviewed and merged by the repository maintainers, you’ll earn the Pull Shark achievement after 2 successful merges.
Alternative Method (Using a Second Account):
If you have a second GitHub account, you can simplify the process:
- Create two separate projects on your second account.
- Submit pull requests from your main account to these projects.
- Merge the pull requests using your second account.
This method ensures you have full control over the process and can unlock the achievement quickly.
Pro Tip:
Start with small, well-documented contributions to increase the chances of your pull requests being accepted. Popular repositories like GitHub Docs or First Contributions are great places to start.
