If you could please describe what the issue with the footer is, that would help us understand what you are proposing to do. I would hate for you to do a lot of work redesigning something and folks not agree that it is even a problem.

Hey! I’d love to work on this issue, but could you clarify what specific changes you’re looking for in the footer? Are you thinking about layout adjustments, styling updates, or adding/removing elements? Some details or references would help ensure the update aligns with what you have in mind. Let me know!

@devlohani99 okay I'm not opposed to it so if you propose a PR, I will review it.

@aterrel I previously created a pull request, after running the build command, I am seeing 10k changes. I only made edits in specific files, but I am unsure how to push only those changes without including unnecessary files. Could you guide me on how to properly push my actual code changes?

Sorry, looks like our install instructions led you astray. I'm more of a conda user so I didn't catch it. When you execute: python -m venv myenv it creates a folder myenv. That folder is where pip will install dependencies for jupyter book when you execute pip install -r requirements.txt, that's where the 5000+ files come from. The normal thing to do is use python -m venv .venv and then the .gitignore file tells git to not include .venv. In this case you need to add myenv to your .gitignore or we should just change the default instructions.
