Happy to hear that you are interested in contributing to Git as part of
the Outreachy projet. To help us mentors, could you please clarify which
of the two approved projects you are interested in?

Other than that I would strongly recommend reading through [1] and [2],
if you haven't already done so. They should give you some ideas for how
the Outreachy application process is designed to work in the Git project
and lays out the expectation of us mentors.

Let me know in case you have any additional questions.

Hello Philip, thanks for your prompt response. As regards your
request, I want to work on the project description 'Convert unit tests
to use the clar testing framework'.

Hi Philip,
I have read through [1], [2] and other articles relevant to completing
a micro project and contributing to git. After going through the
microproject ideas, I have come up with two possible projects I am
interested in working on.
1. changing the style for 'cd' in the test subshell.
In this following email,
https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAPig+cQpUu2UO-+jWn1nTaDykWnxwuEitzVB7PnW2SS_b7V8Hg@mail.gmail.com/
It explains how to modernise and clean up t7001, and example of which is

* style for `cd` in subshell is:

    (
        cd foo &&
        ...
    ) &&

  not:

    (cd foo &&
        ...

    ) &&.
However, a sample outdated style can be seen in the sample file
t/t5605-clone-local.sh which I would like to work on to change those
instances to the modern accepted code style
Some examples can be seen in the file as follows.
test_expect_success 'local clone without .git suffix' '
git clone -l -s a b &&
(cd b &&
echo false >expect &&
git config --bool core.bare >actual &&
test_cmp expect actual &&
git fetch)
'
test_expect_success 'local clone with .git suffix' '
git clone -l -s a.git c &&
(cd c && git fetch)
'
test_expect_success 'bundle clone with nonexistent HEAD (match default)' '
git clone b2.bundle b2 &&
(cd b2 &&
git fetch &&
git rev-parse --verify refs/heads/main)
'

2. Use test_path_is_* functions in test scripts.
I have found three potential test files in the t/ directory
t5601-clone.sh
test_expect_success 'clone --mirror' '

git clone --mirror src mirror &&
test -f mirror/HEAD &&
test ! -f mirror/file &&
FETCH="$(cd mirror && git config remote.origin.fetch)" &&
test "+refs/*:refs/*" = "$FETCH" &&
MIRROR="$(cd mirror && git config --bool remote.origin.mirror)" &&
test "$MIRROR" = true

'

t7300-clean.sh
test_expect_success 'git clean with skip-worktree .gitignore' '
git update-index --skip-worktree .gitignore &&
rm .gitignore &&
mkdir -p build docs &&
touch a.out src/part3.c docs/manual.txt obj.o build/lib.so &&
git clean &&
test -f Makefile &&
test -f README &&
test -f src/part1.c &&
test -f src/part2.c &&
test ! -f a.out &&
test ! -f src/part3.c &&
test -f docs/manual.txt &&
test -f obj.o &&
test -f build/lib.so &&
git update-index --no-skip-worktree .gitignore &&
git checkout .gitignore
'
t7611-merge-abort.sh
test_expect_success 'fails without MERGE_HEAD (completed merge)' '
git merge clean_branch &&
test ! -f .git/MERGE_HEAD &&
# Merge successfully completed
post_merge_head="$(git rev-parse HEAD)" &&
test_must_fail git merge --abort 2>output &&
test_grep MERGE_HEAD output
'

These tests can be refactored to use the test_path_is_file and
test_path_is_missing functions.

Please kindly let me know the possibility of doing these microprojects.
Thanks
Abraham.

All of the examples you picked seem valid. You do not require something
like approval to work on those projects, but it would be nice to check
that there are no concurrent threads on the Git mailing list that handle
the same microprojects. I'm not aware of any though, so please feel free
to pick any one of your proposals and work on it.

Thanks!

Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Please I submitted this patch via gitgitgadget from my email
<abrahamadekunle50@gmail.com>
https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1811.git.1728328755490.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/.
My github account uses a different email address
<abrahamadekunle50@gmail.com> to the one I applied to outreachy
<sammymore50@gmail.com>. How wanted to draw your attention to the
patch because gitgitgadet did not include the [Outreachy] tag I added
to the title and the patch title does not show the [Outreachy] tag in
the mail list.
Thanks for your time

Hi Patrick.
My apologies for not specifying earlier.
I would like to contribute to project [2]...

Finish adding a 'os-version' capability to Git protocol v2

Cheers.
