doc: add some nit fixes to MyFirstContribution

A trial run-through of the tutorial revealed a few typos and missing
commands in the tutorial itself. This commit fixes typos, clarifies
which lines to keep or modify in some places, and adds a section on
putting the git-psuh binary into the gitignore.

 Check it out! You've got a command! Nice work! Let's commit this.
 
+`git status` reveals modified `Makefile`, `builtin.h`, and `git.c` as well as
+untracked `builtin/psuh.c` and `git-psuh`. First, let's take care of the binary,
+which should be ignored. Open `.gitignore` in your editor, find `/git-push`, and
+add an entry for your new command in alphabetical order:
+
+----
+...
+/git-prune-packed
+/git-psuh
+/git-pull
+/git-push
+/git-quiltimport
+/git-range-diff
+...
+----
+
+Checking `git status` again should show that `git-psuh` has been removed from
+the untracked list and `.gitignore` has been added to the modified list. Now we
+can stage and commit:
