Overview

We need to fix the following line of code to correctly capitalize "Slack" when it's used to refer to the app or the company in our code and content.

• website/CONTRIBUTING.md

  Line 582 in 612389d

  - If you still do not see your changes after trying these steps, please feel free to reach out to the team in the [#hfla-site](https://hackforla.slack.com/archives/C4UM52W93) slack channel, or bring up your issue in a dev meeting.

Action Items

• Open the file CONTRIBUTING.MD in your code editor
• On Line 582 replace every slack with Slack when it's used to refer to the app and the company, do not make changes within URLs. Do not change any other lines in the file.
• Changes to CONTRIBUTING.md should not be tested locally, rather they need to be tested after pushing the issue branch to your fork of the repository. Push your issue branch in the usual manner, but before creating the Pull Request, check your updates using this test URL. Also store the test URL for use in a later step:

https://github.com/[REPLACE WITH GITHUB HANDLE]/website/blob/[REPLACE WITH NAME OF ISSUE BRANCH]/CONTRIBUTING.md

(for example: https://github.com/bonniewolfe/website/blob/issue-branch-1234/CONTRIBUTING.md)

• Create a pull request with your changes. In the Pull Request, after the "Why did you make the changes" section, add this line to help reviewers, replacing the text in brackets (and the brackets) with the test URL from the previous Action Item.

For Reviewers: Do not review changes locally, rather, review changes at [REPLACE WITH TEST URL]
