CodeTriage VS first-contributions

3. Open Source Contribution

I wrote a book with a chapter on how to write docs for other people’s code https://howtoopensource.dev

I also wrote an open source tool for writing and testing tutorials https://github.com/zombocom/rundoc and another that will email you undocumented methods of open source code so you can practice writing documentation https://www.codetriage.com/.

CodeTriage helps you contribute to open source by “picking a handful of open issues and delivering them directly to your inbox”. (Source: CodeTriage)

Here are open source projects listed https://www.codetriage.com/ You can filter for "C".

The biggest untaped potential (IMHO) is not one company funding 1 full time maintainer, but EVERY company allowing and encouraging EVERY developer to help and work with open source. This was the basis of my web app https://www.codetriage.com/. I have a chapter on it in my book How to Open Source (https://howtoopensource.dev/), and I talked to Yehuda about it for about an hour after my last talk at Philly ETE.

You can also use websites like up-for-grabs, goodfirstissue, or CodeTriage to find projects with open issues. Find one that looks easy or interesting to you and comment on it, asking if you can take a shot at it.

I recommend these resources to help you contribute https://www.codetriage.com/ (free) and https://howtoopensource.dev/ (paid). DM if you can’t afford a copy.

GitHub's First Contribution guide: A gentle intro to contributing to open-source.

We will contribute to the repository of "First contributions". You can go to the following link: https://github.com/firstcontributions/first-contributions

First Contributions GitHub Repository

In the inaugural chapters of my Tublian journey, I found myself immersed in the realms of "First Contributions." True to its name, this project served as a welcoming gateway, designed with the noble purpose of simplifying the often complex landscape of contributing to open source endeavors, particularly for those taking their first steps into this vibrant community.

Recently i found a github repository to learn open-source contribution for beginners. Click here to view the repository.

You'll need to find a first contributions repository (I used this one), and from there it'll be pretty self-explanatory. Good luck - you'll do great!
