I’ve been trying to get into contributing to open source on GitHub, but honestly I feel kinda lost.

I can code a bit, and I’ve looked through some repos, but everything just feels… huge? I never know where to start or what I’m even supposed to be looking for.

How did you guys actually get started? Like what did your first contribution look like?

Any advice would help 🙏
