"How to begin open source contribution"

parulagg27 commented 6 years ago

First and foremost, you should be comfortable with using git and github. For that I believe, going through these two links thoroughly would suffice:

  1. Intro to git & github - It's a really good blog written by @codeb1ooded
  2. try git tutorial - for detailed insights

Then, you should explore and try contributing to some beginner level projects to get comfortable with work flow. I think, Open Hatch & up-for-grabs will help you find such projects of your interest. Hope that helps!

Also look for the "good first issue" and "beginner" level tags on issues on Github. Maintainers usually tag those issues to help first-timers! Remember, even a document fix can be a good first issue. All it takes is getting started and then keep getting deeper.

There is a free video learning course by udacity too.
