A Beginner-Friendly Guide to Modifying Open Source Projects
Bitcoiner.Guide contributor Bitlevi has written a beginner-friendly guide for aspiring open source project contributors. It covers all the necessary steps and tools one needs to confidently fork a project, make changes, and submit a pull request.
- "Diving into Open Source software might feel like jumping into the deep end if you’re new to it."
- "With this guide, we will break down each aspect of the process. Using Bitcoiner.Guide as our playground, we will walk you through the process of writing an article and pitching changes to be added into the main project."
- "Remember, Open Source contribution is not just about coding; it’s about collaboration, learning, sharing, and improving. So don’t be deterred if things don’t go perfectly the first time. With practice, you’ll become more comfortable with the process. Every contribution, no matter how small, is valuable."
