How to get started with Open Source

Here's a quick run down on how to get started with open source, first of all let's know some basic terminologies:

• Git: is a versioning system that let's you store your code and code history on your local computer preventing loses and allowing sharing of that code
• Github: is a server that let's you store the history in a database
• Open Source: A project is said to be open sourced if you can see the code on GitHub
• Fork: This is a copy that you make of a project on GitHub, it gets added to your repositories
• Repository: A project on GitHub is called a repository
• Pull Request: This is a fix for an issue proposed to be done in a project, this consists of you editing a file in the project.
• Issue: An issue is a change that should be done in a project, can be a bug, a new feature or a suggestion to a project
• Branch: A branch is a new workspace derived from the default workspace(main or master), it allows you to work on something without affecting the original code
• Star: When you star a repositiory, it gets saved to your profile and you can easily re-visit it.

Now you know some basic terms, let's get into how to get started with some resources to let you understand open source better:

Contributing

I heartily welcome any and all contributions that match our engineering standards! 🙌

That being said, this codebase isn't your typical open source project because it's not a library or package with a limited scope—it's our entire product.

Rules

• No console.logs in any file: We use the debug module across the codebase to log debugging information in development only. Never commit a file that contains a console.log as CI will fail your build. The only exceptions are errors, which you can log, but you have to use console.error to be explicit about it
• Code reviews: All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose.

Reporting a bug or discussing a feature idea

Fixing a bug or implementing a new feature

• If you find a bug on Project and open a PR that fixes it we'll review it as soon as possible to ensure it matches our engineering standards.
• If you want to implement a new feature, open an issue first to discuss what it'd look like .
• If you want to contribute but are unsure to start, we have a "good first issue" label which is applied to newcomer-friendly issues and pick something you like!
