 It helps to be as descriptive as possible in commit messages so that users can be aware of the changes made by you.
 
+Then, you can run the basic checks, as to make sure the CI has the most chance of being successful:
+
+```
+pnpm run lint
+
+pnpm run test
+
+pnpm run build
+```
+
 Finally, create a pull request to merge the changes on your forked repository to the original repository hosted on AmruthPillai/Reactive-Resume. I can take a look at the changes you've made when I have the time and have it merged onto the app.
