amazing initiative for beginners that they get to experience their full contributions to an 'open source' project!!. Good work. Keep coming them

[@AliSolanki]

Thanks a lot!🍉

[@salmanakhtar8043]

Excellent video for beginners. I have just contributed to this project. It's my second time contributing to any Open Source project though.

[@CryptoZombie666]

The hard part where I & most beginners are confused is how to find good first issues *corresponding to my own tech stack* like for example if my tech stack consist of java, spring, Hibernate. Then its difficult to find repositories for these certain technologies and even if I find out any of the good first issues, corresponding to my tech stack then in most of them contributions are ALREADY made by others ! In that case what a beginner can do ? Its really hard to find out typos or any other fixable mistakes !

[@agi_lab]

This is something no youtuber will make videos on. They just make videos on how to make pull request. Nobody goes into telling what exactly to do Or find issues

[@CryptoZombie666]

@@agi_lab agree, no one's willing to address the real issue

[@AliSolanki]

Understood, I can make a video on this, do some contributions to real world projects like Flutter and show it live. I believe a video like this is not made as it will be too niche down. People who are interested in open source and that too Flutter would watch that specific one. If you're really interested, let me know I can make a detailed course on this on my courses platform (courses.alisolanki.com) just like I had made for making NFT collection

[@Paras_Jain]

how are we supposed to clone big/large repositories ,your repo just have a readme file so it took some milli seconds but while contributing to large projects cloining there repo will take hours i guess

[@AliSolanki]

Yes true, depends on your internet speed

[@lucky-gin-t3g]

This video should be renamed to "how to make a github PR"

[@AliSolanki]

But github PR is too general, I wanted this to go to the people who were making their "first" PR, that's why "how to start". Also I've also taught about merging the PR, making changes in an existing repo, talked about how to find repos to contribute to and a lot more. I feel the title you're suggesting might mislead the audience

[@lucky-gin-t3g]

It would have been nice if you had shown by setting up a random open source project or finding good first issues instead. Whatever u mentioned above - first pr, merging pr, making changes, searching, etc all comes under "github" context. This is a pre req before u contribute to OS, it's like people not knowing github and wanna contribute to OS.

Open Source Contribution is never recommended to anyone during their first 4-5 years of coding. They would be create more problem for the github community than contributing anything.

No, this is a major misconception. You can do open source contributions without coding knowledge as well. Docuementation requirements are rising day by day and many projects need these things. One of the first contributions I had made was in matic (polygon) documentation itself.
