So... why not join our [large, growing](https://www.apiseven.com/en/contributor-graph?chart=contributorOverTime&repo=ebookfoundation/free-programming-books) community. <details align="center" markdown="1"> <summary>Click to see users vs. time graphs.</summary> [![EbookFoundation/free-programming-books's Contributor over time Graph](https://contributor-overtime-api.apiseven.com/contributors-svg?chart=contributorOverTime&repo=ebookfoundation/free-programming-books)](https://www.apiseven.com/en/contributor-graph?chart=contributorOverTime&repo=ebookfoundation/free-programming-books) [![EbookFoundation/free-programming-books's Monthly Active Contributors graph](https://contributor-overtime-api.apiseven.com/contributors-svg?chart=contributorMonthlyActivity&repo=ebookfoundation/free-programming-books)](https://www.apiseven.com/en/contributor-graph?chart=contributorMonthlyActivity&repo=ebookfoundation/free-programming-books) </details> Even if you're an experienced open source contributor, there are things that might trip you up. Once you've submitted your PR, ***GitHub Actions* will run a *linter*, often finding little issues with spacing or alphabetization**. If you get a green button, everything is ready for review; but if not, click "Details" under the check that failed to find out what the linter didn't like, and fix the problem adding a new commit to the branch from which your PR was opened. Finally, if you're not sure that the resource you want to add is appropriate for `Free-Programming-Books`, read through the guidelines in [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) *([translations](README.md#translations) also available)*.
