CodeTriage VS first-contributions

I know about this project https://www.codetriage.com/?language=Python that might be of interest to you. Basically you pick what repos you want to work on and receive issue suggestions in your inbox.

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".

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.

https://www.codetriage.com is a good place to find projects that need help.

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.

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!

Additional assistance and recourse came from studying other open source projects and developers repositories. For example, while searching GitHub, I found the frontend developer, open source developer & technical writer Victor Eke. Of the many open source projects that he has assisted with and created, I used his repository Portfolio Ideas to get ideas on the structure of documentation and, in additionally, reading his blog article “How my open source project got 1000 stars on GitHub in 4 months” on what he did to surpass the 1,000 stars on his open source project. I also studied one of the most popular stared first-contributions repositories (which has over 37,000 stars) for the excellent structure of the documentation. And lastly, to add more visual interest to the documentation found throughout the Before I Die Code, I used the Animated Fluent Emojis open source project by Tarikul Islam Anik.

First Contributions helps you make your first open-source contribution in five minutes.

First Contributions

A PR is a method of submitting a contribution. To successfully get your changes accepted or merged into an open source project, there are a number of processes that must be followed. If you have not made any PR before, you can follow the first contribution project guide to learn how to create it.
