Retro-week

This week, we just worked on our previous projects to build the open-source culture.

Comment

Inspiration

  • Due to time constraints, we were not able to look into other's projects as well as not completed certain milestones in our project. So, this week was dedicated to looking back at our and other pod members' projects and work on their issues and add features, fix bugs, etc. This motivated us to build an open-source contribution culture among ourselves.

What it does

  • We tried fixing bugs and adding features in some of the projects
  • We made PRs to fix the bugs – our PRs ranged from adding unit tests to setting up Github Actions

How we built it

  • We first created issues in our previous projects.
  • Then we assigned ourselves few issues in our projects.
  • Then, we asked the project maintainers of other projects to assign us their issue.
  • Once, we completed working on the issue, we created a PR.
  • We did a code review in this PR and finally merged it.

Challenges we ran into

  • Difficulty in choosing a single project, when there were many XD.
  • It was also hard for us to fix some of the issues that were mentioned cause a lot of them were time-intensive, so we went with the ones that were easier.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • To be able to fix certain bugs.
  • To be able to add new features.
  • To be able to make proper PRs and get them approved by the team

What we learned

  • Github best practices like code review, issues, PRs etc
  • Open source contribution.
  • Writing unit tests

What's next for Retro-week

  • Continue contribution to these projects even after the Fellowship is over.
  • Keep practicing how to write unit tests etc.
