First pull request accepted ยท ๐Ÿ˜Š

My first public pull request on Github was accepted.

Over the last weeks, I have been reading R for Data Science (2e) (R4DS). The first edition really helped me to get deeply into the tidyverse. So I was interested in the content of the second edition.

At some point, I realized that the book used an older parameter in case_when() that was recently superseded in dplyr 1.1. Since, I had switched to the new .default parameter already, I thought that it may be a small and valuable contribution to update the section.

Making the code changes was easy. It took me a little to find out how to clone the project and submit the pull requests. The GitHub documentation was helpful and it went smoothly following it.

I have used R4DS and the tidyverse so often that I am quite proud about my very minor addition to it.
