One example was an issue in the Brave Browser project to add a policy for disabling a feature. The documentation provided clear instructions, so I decided to give it a try. After cloning the repositories, one for the whole project and the other containing the actual browser code which is a fork of chromium (it was HUGE). I installed the necessary tools (like depot_tools) and packages needed by Chromium. Despite realizing early on that the project was massive, I decided to give it a shot.

The issue involved preventing test coverage from running a second time if it had already failed. I located the GitHub Actions workflow file and found the step responsible for running test coverage. By using the needs argument, I made the step depend on the earlier test steps to be completed. After updating the workflow and creating a pull request, I was happy to see it accepted and merged.

This project scans codebases for exposed secrets. There was a feature request (labelled as good first issue by the repo authors) to display the total number of secrets found after a scan. I added functionality to count and display the number of secrets in the terminal.

restler-fuzzer
RESTler is the first stateful REST API fuzzing tool for automatically testing cloud services through their REST APIs and finding security and reliability bugs in these services.
The issue was to add some kind of validation to ensure that the dictionary used by a function doesn't have non string values. I wrote a validation function for it and added test cases to confirm it worked without breaking existing code.
