Contribution queries

[rb23ack]

Hi, hope you're doing well. I'm a newbie in GSSoC and have got no clue from where and how to commence contributing on open source projects. I've texted in the main discord group however didn't really get any reply. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you very much.

@AnnyaB Sure. Do you need help on how to contribute?

[rajdeepchakraborty-rc]

@AnnyaB You can head to the official site of GSSoC and head to the projects section under GSSoC'24 - Extd.

Then choose a project according to your tech stack(languages you know) and you can start contributing to them. You can start with just small contributions such as documentation modifications and then improve the quality of contributions.
You can start by contributing to this repository:

You can refer to discussion #175 for more detailed info on contributions and how to get started. I would encourage you to read this thoroughly as it will clear most of your doubts.

Hi, could you please share the site link? Thanks much.

Hi, could you please share the site link? Thanks much.

@AnnyaB I am sorry but GitHub frequently bans accounts for sharing external links. You can search gssoc; the first link is the official website. You can go to the projects section on the homepage, find a project you are comfortable working on, and start contributing.

@AnnyaB If you are new to Git and GitHub, you can also check out the playlist created by Sanjay Viswanathan sir. I am sorry I cannot provide the link to the playlist since GitHub frequently banned accounts for providing links to discussions. But you can easily find it by searching the RecodeHive channel on YouTube:

Go to the playlists and the very first playlist will be quite helpful for you:
