A good way to learn about working with git and open source projects is to contribute to someone else’s project yourself. Here are a few ways to get started.

• Go to your favourite project libraries and look for guides.
• Try the first-timers-only tag on GitHub, or visit firsttimersonly.com
• Participate in Hacktoberfest (October), the Mozilla Global Sprint (May), and/or 24 Pull Requests (December).
• Students only: Participate in Google Summer of Code.
