I'm a junior developer I have been working and learning react for 8 to 9 month .. but I want to start contributing to open source so I can add that to my resume since I have applying and I haven't gotten good responses. what are the step I should take before I can start contributing to open source so I can have a first hand experience working with a live project 2 Likes |

First off, get rid of that title you gave yourself To your question, you need no invitation to contribute to a project Fork a repo, make meaningful changes/fix bugs, submit a PR and wait for code reviews to be over (if its merged, you made a contribution). There are guides on the net and github docs too. Also make yourself "useful" by posting on programming communities like reddit, twitter and co to make yourself known. 2 Likes |

You could search on Github using search filters like python, JavaScript, react, etc. After seeing the project you like, read the project readme to understand what it does, why it does it and how it does it that way. You could then help by: 1.Writing or improving on the documentation 2.Write articles about the project(How-to, etc) 3.Add features you like or improve on existing ones(features like maybe a GUI if doesn't exist) 4. Look at open issues you could address in the project 5. You could even do translation of readme files if such projects need it But it would be better to first search on Github for opensource projects that help devs on using Git and Github for opensource contributions. Repos like the Eddiehub, first-time contributions, etc My little sense Oh... you could search on GSoC repos on Github to look for ones you contribute to, too 1 Like |

If you know Svelte and can help maintain Svelte devtool, you will be popular. it's Chrome API/ JS/ HTML |

Runningwater: Those 2 are always the best, as you get to learn about the project structure as you read and document. 2 Likes |
