What is the "Pull Shark" Achievement?

The Pull Shark achievement is awarded when you have 2 pull requests merged in public repositories. It’s a way to recognize your contributions to open-source projects.

Steps to Unlock "Pull Shark":

1. Find Public Repositories:
   
   Look for public repositories that accept contributions. You can search for issues labeled "good first issue" or "help wanted" to find beginner-friendly projects.

2. Make Meaningful Contributions:

   • Fork the repository, make your changes, and submit a pull request.
   • Ensure your contribution follows the repository’s guidelines.

3. Get Your Pull Requests Merged:

   • Once your pull requests are reviewed and merged by the repository maintainers, you’ll earn the Pull Shark achievement after 2 successful merges.

Alternative Method (Using a Second Account):

If you have a second GitHub account, you can simplify the process:

• Create two separate projects on your second account.
• Submit pull requests from your main account to these projects.
• Merge the pull requests using your second account.

This method ensures you have full control over the process and can unlock the achievement quickly.

Pro Tip:

Start with small, well-documented contributions to increase the chances of your pull requests being accepted. Popular repositories like GitHub Docs or First Contributions are great places to start.
