Thank you for your contributions, your projects are very cool, a lot of difficulty in learning these new technologies alone, the courses are very expensive in BR. Their designs are beautiful and very creative. Your advice to start with a project that we are passionate about is perfect, I work mainly as a volunteer and taking these technologies to friends who know very little and don't even know how to use a computer, there are still people like that... I love your work, soon I will be sponsoring. 🫶

^{🌐 [sanchitbajaj02.github.io/...](https://sanchitbajaj02.github.io/portfolio)} | **I've built or contributed to a project that I'd like to share here, which is:**
I am currently developing an open-source project called 'Palettegram.' The idea for this project originated a few months ago when I was working on a client's project. I had to design a website based on the client's unique needs, which sometimes didn't align with standard design practices. During that project, I felt the need for a platform where design professionals could review my work, and I could draw inspiration from other designers. I realized that such a platform would be immensely valuable.

I am into open-source to explore and contrubute into real world examples of what i am learning . It gives me immense pleasure when i am able to bring changes/improvements into someone's application , be it small or big changes, using my little knowledge. I am mostly into web development and as i dive deep into repositories in Open Source , I am learning new stuffs everyday.

One tech tool I really love is the Jupyter Notebook. It so easy to use and navigate. As a noob in Data science and Machine Learning and this tool has definitely helped make my work fun and easy to handle. I most especially love how I get error messages and also a prompt as to where the error occured. I have always loved coding in python and one library I use a lot when working on projects is the Seaborn library. For me, it just gives a different feel to my visualizations.

I want to contribute to open source to gain hands-on experience, and work on substantial projects. It's a valuable opportunity to enhance my technical skills, collaborate with a global community, and give back to the software development world. Open source contributions serve as a portfolio, showcasing real-world experience and dedication to continuous learning, making it a win-win for personal and professional growth.

Trust me when I say that you get the true feels of a developer is not when you deploy your project but when you give back to the community and solve the issues of open source techstacks you actually used in your project. In the beginning all of it can seem a bit overwhelming but truly just trust the process, your are definitely onto something great.

I want to get started to open source contribution so that I can learn contributing to projects and get some hands-on experience in development. I also get to learn version control skills like Git, and hope to shine my coding skills and learn new language by contributing to projects. Open source contributions will also decorate my CV, and increase my chances of getting a remote job or better off-campus placements, and I'm also aiming for next year's GSoc, so this is a great way for me to practice.

Open Source Projects will allow me to get involved within different communities giving me an opportunity to further develop skills, by contributing to source code in areas of development, documentation, bug fixes, and testing, that will be recognized by community members and hiring managers, which will help in advancing my software development career.

🫂 11 ┃ 👣 20 ┃ 🗃 23 | **The advice I would give to someone new to open source is:**
My advice for someone who wants to get into open source is to JUST START. Even if you don't know anything about anything, learning will be so much easier when you are doing hands on work. We often think that acquiring new skills or learning something new is going to take us a lot of time, which discourages us, but the thing is that timewill pass anyways. Keep at it and you will achieve something great!

| **I want to get into open source because:**
I've always been fond of the way open-source indicates the strength of the masses. Making contributions together not only helps numerous people develop their skills but also ends up creating a beautiful end product and providing a sense of community and togetherness to programming. I couldn't manage to find time earlier but now that I have some, I'm excited and eager to play my part in providing contributions and sharing my knowledge.

I do it after coming home from work, in the evening. First of all, I make sure to not take office work home, I get them done in the office itself and then in the evening I look for issues on topics based on my interests and believe me, it feels awesome when the thing you have worked on gets merged on the main branch, but we should not work for the result but work to learn from the journey and from the mistakes and optimize ourselves each day.

Balancing open-source work with a day job can be quite challenging, but it's also incredibly rewarding. First and foremost, time management is key. I make sure to allocate specific blocks of time for open-source contributions, usually during evenings or weekends, so it doesn't interfere with my primary responsibilities at work. Prioritization is crucial too; I identify the most critical open-source projects or issues that align with my interests and expertise, focusing my efforts there. Communication is another vital aspect—I keep my colleagues and managers in the loop about my open-source commitments to ensure transparency and manage expectations. It's also crucial to set realistic goals and not overcommit, as burnout is a real concern. Ultimately, finding the right balance takes time and trial and error, but it's all about passion, dedication, and effective time management to make it work harmoniously.

## Finding Projects

A common struggle for a lot of new developers, when getting started with open source, is just finding projects to contribute to. We've put together a guide to help you with this, see: [Finding Projects to Contribute to](https://github.com/Lissy93/git-into-open-source/blob/main/guides/finding-projects-to-contribute-to.md), as well as a list of projects tagged as welcoming for first-time contributors [git-in.to/find-projects](https://www.git-in.to/find-projects/).

The following hand-picked projects, may be a good place to start:

- [https://github.com/lissy93/git-into-open-source](https://github.com/lissy93/git-into-open-source)

Have I missed any? Add yours to this list, by including it under the `projects` section in [`resources.yml`](https://github.com/Lissy93/git-into-open-source/blob/main/resources.yml) and following the guidelines in [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) to submit a PR.

^{⬆️ Back to Top}

## Contributing

Submitting contributions to any repository is easy!

The first step is to check out the projects contributing guidelines ([here's ours](/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md)). These will usually outline setup instructions, and give you pointers as to where and how you can contribute.

Next you'll need to either fork and clone the repo, or if it's a small change you can just edit it via the GitHub UI. [Here is a step-by-step guide](/guides/submit-your-first-pr-cli.md) to help you get started with that.

Finally, you can submit the pull request! Head back to the source repo, and you should see a new button, saying "Create Pull Request". If the author has set a PR template, be sure it's filled in properly.
