Introduction
Jump to list of repos up for contribution.
What is this?
This is a guide to get started with contributing to the some open source projects. Its main aim is to get participants started with contributions to open source projects and introducing them to the basic flow of the pull request model.
What is open source?
Open source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance.
Why participate?
Open source work sharpens your skills in ways you never realized were dull—from writing cleaner, more maintainable code to learning how to communicate well and work as a team. It's also the best possible resume builder for a working or aspiring professional developer; potential employers can hit your repository and see what you're capable of, and developers you've worked with on community projects may want to bring you in on paying gigs. Ultimately, working on open source projects—yours or others'—means personal growth, because you're working on something larger than yourself.
