Read the guidelines: in the docs you will usually find proper details on how to contribute and the possible code of conduct. Make sure to read it thoroughly before contributing and remember, the guidelines can vastly differ from project to project. Some projects do not accept pull requests before an issue is raised and discussed, or there is a proper structure required when you report bugs. Again, don't waste your own time, read up!

  ORM for TypeScript and JavaScript. Supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server, Oracle, SAP Hana, WebSQL databases. Works in NodeJS, Browser, Ionic, Cordova and Electron platforms.

  

One way to find a project to work on is to look to the tools you are already using in your own projects. For example, do you use TypeORM and are you frustrated that there is no easy way of adding scopes to your general queries? I am! And so are a few others when I was looking for an existing issue. So I'll take a crack at it whenever time permits.
