What Is The Etiquette Like on Github for Reporting Typos?

I’ve found a typo, where in ujust enroll-secure-boot-key command the newline escape sequence is inserted as regular text. So instead of creating a new line it outputs something like:

Sampletext, sampletext.\nSampletext sampletext.

Also, after entering your sudo password, it outputs:

Enter password:

Enter password again:

which pretty much have no function. Could be confusing for people. If I knew how to use Github I could try to fix it myself but unfortunately I don’t. I also don’t know if it would be annoying to create a ticket on Bazzite Github. I don’t want to create noise and annoy maintainers. How should I go about this?

Is there any other place to report minor typos like this? Thanks a lot for answers in advance :slight_smile:

It’s generally ok to create github issues; even trivial issues can be useful. I’m not active in the bazzite github, but I have contributed to a few open source projects. Personally, I wouldn’t find this sort of issue annoying.

When contributing to a project for the first time, I usually start with minor bugs and typos, just like this. They might seem trivial, but solving simple problems is the best way to learn how things fit together.

If you’re looking for instructions on how to file an issue, this might be a good place to start: How to file issues

Alright, I will file this on GitHub then. Thanks a lot for the answer :slight_smile:
