Open source is made by people just like you. This Friday, invest a few hours contributing to the software you use and love.
Sign up with GitHubLearn what it means to contribute, and how to find and get started on a new project.
Contributing to open source happens at all levels, across projects and design, documentation, operations and code. You don’t need to overthink what exactly your first contribution will be, or how it will look
