I noticed that the Getting Started page had some typos and issues with sentence structure. I went through and modified index.rst to reflect what I hope are some quality changes in readability. 

Also, I'm pretty new to GitHub and I had some trouble with the commit process. Somehow I included 12 images in my commit without modifying them, so I apologize in advance for the clutter. 

Thanks for checking out my ideas!

I don't believe they're new, I think they're already part of the project. I had accidentally staged them and was unable to remove them from my commit. I didn't make any modifications to any images, or add/remove any images. The only thing I meant to be in this pr were my proposed changes to `index.rst`.  Sorry about that!
All good. You can git rebase to keep the commit history clean.

You can just run 

```bash
git checkout upstream/main doc/
git commit -m"Undo doc changes"
git push origin HEAD
```

And update this PR
Okay, I followed the steps from @mroeschke and updated the PR with a rebase, so the second commit has the changes to index.rst but does not have the random images. Is this correct?
It looks like your latest push still shows a diff for the images. I guess I would recommend creating a new pull request with just the changes to `doc/source/getting_started/index.rst`.

(Also as a best practice, I would recommend creating a branch from your `main` branch and create a pull request from that branch)
Okay, I went ahead and reset my main, checked out a new branch, and made the changes again with what I'm hoping is a clean pull request: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/pull/58919

Thanks for your patience and assistance! Feel free to close this PR, or let me know it's okay to close it.
