Background

Overview of your issue here.

Instructions

Hi, this is a first-timer-only issue. This means we've worked to make it more legible to people who either haven't contributed to our codebase before, or even folks who haven't contributed to open source before.

We're interested in helping you take the first step, and can answer questions and help you out along the way. Note that we're especially interested in contributions from underrepresented groups!

We know that creating a pull request is the biggest barrier for new contributors. This issue is for you 💝

If you have contributed before, consider leaving this PR for someone new, and looking through our general bug issues. Thanks!

🤔 What you will need to know.

Nothing. This issue is meant to welcome you to Open Source :) We are happy to walk you through the process.
