Outreachy Dec18 - Mar19

I am getting the hang of Git now, various terms, features, and concepts are undoubtedly making sense now and the project is quite fruitful as an experience that enhances my ability to understand the things in a better way and build my skills in coding. This week tasks were: "--autosquash" my commits with pranit's old commit. Resolving the mentor's review issues after code pushed to Git. Creating separate patches for sending it to the git's mailing list. I have successfully completed my tasks for this week.
