What could be the steps to get yolo achievments in my repo?
How do I merge changes correctly?

[mohit-nagaraj]

create a new branch in your repository, make some changes, create a pull request to the main branch, add yourself as a reviewer, and immediately merge the pull request without waiting for any feedback

It won't allow me add anyone as a reviewer

I merged it.
Now I need to wait for the achievment to show up?

This works when you commit changes in a repository 'other than yours'. So contribute to your favorite repository

To achieve the YOLO achievement on GitHub, you typically need to make changes directly to the main branch without going through the usual pull request or review process—essentially committing straight to the main branch. However, this is not considered a best practice, as it bypasses code review and can introduce risks.

For merging changes correctly, follow these steps:

1. Create a Branch: Start by creating a feature branch for your changes (git checkout -b feature-branch).
2. Make Changes: Commit your changes to this branch using git add and git commit.
3. Push to Remote: Push your branch to the remote repository (git push origin feature-branch).
4. Open a Pull Request: On GitHub, open a pull request and describe your changes.
5. Request Reviews: Ask for reviews from your team or collaborators.
6. Merge Changes: Once approved, merge the pull request into the main branch using the GitHub interface.

Taking this approach ensures that your changes are reviewed and integrated safely. If you're just starting out, it’s also a great habit to practice!
