Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

most big projects have guidelines documenting the major points you need to know

overall just

• make sure your code follows style guidelines
• never create a PR without first having an issue that discusses the problem the PR will address
• • (it could either be a bug/feature request opened by someone else or by yourself, but you'll always want to have an issue about it)
• expect for the maintainer to reviews and request moderate changes before merging

Ok.
For a scenario, lets say you are contributing to a github repo. and what the first thing you do? do you use git pull/ git fetch?

and lets say you are doing you work which took good amount of time, till then ofc repo would have some merges or some commits. so you pulll all changes before pushing?
