Breaking the ice

This is my very first time participating in Hacktoberfest, and as a requirement for my open source course, I am required to successfully make 4 PRs (1 PR per week) to open source projects while also having these PRs accepted and merged. I may have the experience of collaborating with classmates and contributing to their projects, this will be my first actual open source contribution to someone outside of class. I was a bit anxious about the standards of creating issues, asking to be assigned for the issue, or how repo owners want a solution done in a specific way. So for starters, I chose a simple issue to work on.

Issue #1

The first issue I worked on is to simply create a requirements.txt for the project to make it easy for users to install any packages required by the program. The slightly tricky part with this issue is that the repo owner tipped me that they use uv as their package manager, to which I have never heard of before. So, I had to do research about this package manager to ensure that generating and installing requirements.txt is compatible with uv.

PR #1

My Pull Request consists of what I accomplished and how I accomplished the task, while also interacting with the repo owner for any additional request from them.
The repo owner also provided a comment which is a nitpick based on some line I changed in the README.md. This made me realize that my prettier autoformatted the file when I saved, causing it to make changes I did not intend to make. Fortunately, the changes made affect nothing as it only added a cancellation character. This gave me the realization that not all projects use formatters, so I'm taking note to either have my formatter turned off if the project does not use it, or do research on how I can make the formatter project specific.
