Hey guys, for the first time I have contributed to open source, I have always wondered about how the overall contributing process will be but never tried it but after introducing to Open source by kunal kushwaha I have decided to contribute and it is the month of October so what's better than a month-long event primarily based on open source contributions, I have already learned HTML, CSS, Tailwind CSS, and JavaScript and now learning React so I search for the repositories that match my skills set, you can also find many beginner-friendly repos on Twitter and discord to which you can contribute Below are some steps you can follow which I also follow while contributing
- First filter the repos which match the skills you have learned
- Second Fork the repo and find the open issues in the current repo(repository)
- And after following the contributing guidelines you can make the desired changes and push them to the main branch If you want to contribute particularly for the hacktoberfest event make sure that the repo or the issue has a hacktoberfest label attached otherwise it will not be counted in the 4 prs
And the experience and joy when your first PR gets merged are very different which you can experience only when you have done that Learned a lot and looking forward to contributing more in the upcoming days
