Hi @Nabhel - thank you for taking on this task! Wanted to let you know that @Chrissiku made a contribution for a duplicate task after it was made for him, so you may ignore his referenced PR. Looking forward to your blog post!

@Chrissiku - please make sure not to submit a contribution to an issue that is already assigned to someone else. We want to give everyone a fair chance to contribute, and avoid anyone finishing a task not assigned to them. When you notice a task is assigned to someone else, or when the GitHub action tells you this task is assigned to someone else, please ask our team before submitting! In the future if you submit a PR a task assigned to someone else, we will accept the contribution but will not grant points. Thank you!

@taniashiba , Hi @Nabhel,
I didn’t realize the task had already been assigned, and I’m so sorry about that. Things moved a bit fast while I was submitting the PR, and I missed the assignment. I’ll make sure to double-check next time to avoid any overlap.

Thanks for your understanding, and I’ll be more mindful going forward!

@taniashiba @Chrissiku Thank you so much for clarifying. 🙏
