What do you mean by open source? 🌎
Open Source is ❤
Open-source software is a type of computer software in which source code is released under a license in which the copyright holder grants users the rights to study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose.
We all know that one can not directly earn from Open source Software
Then Why do we actually care about open source? 😮
Open Source, But Why?
Open source is in your best interest, whether you're an individual, an organisation, a small business, or a non-profit etc.
- People from all over the world can contribute to your code
- Code quality is best maintained
- Reduces duplication of effort
- Showcase your talent and competence
- Lift the community (Always remember, "we rise by lifting others")
By Open Source I mean...
(In Simple Words) Yes, each and every project you can find on GitHub (of course which is not private) is an open source project
Therefore, to make contribution, you just need to find a project that suits you, and an issue to work upon.
Open Source Is
Yes, and I am happy spreading this feeling of love.
- More you contribute, more awareness and ideas you get!
- Doing projects in collab with some super awesome people
- Cant fix a bug!? Ask Help
- Again, Lift the community, help others! (Always remember, "we rise by lifting others")

What is a version control?
Version Control
- Version control systems are a category of software tools that help a software team manage changes to source code over time.
- Version control software keeps track of every modification to the code in a special kind of database.
- If a mistake is made, developers can turn back the clock and compare earlier versions of the code to help fix the mistake while minimizing disruption to all team members.
What if there was no version control? 😧

Prerequisite Knowledge?
Just Git And GitHub
New To This! Dont Worry :)
We Got You covered :)
First Let's Get To Know What GIT and GitHub Are?
Read These Two Articles in Your Free Time To Get A Good Knowledge About Usage Of Git and GitHub!
P.S. It is GitHub not Github :P
Crash Course On Git Commands
After reading those 2 articles, watch this video and you will get a very nice idea on how to use Git and GitHub!
What is Git?
Git
GIT is the most widely used VCS and is considered to be the best friend of any developer today.
Git vs GitHub?
Some people think Git = GitHub
Sorry boi, you wrong here! 🤷♂️
GIT is a version control system, or basically a tool to manage your code history, while GitHub is a hosting service for GIT repositories. Clearly, they are not the same things.
In short, GIT is a tool, and GitHub is a service for projects that use GIT
Little working..
- Git thinks of its data more like a series of snapshots of a miniature filesystem.
- With Git, every time you commit, or save the state of your project, Git basically takes a picture of what all your files look like at that moment and stores a reference to that snapshot.
- To be efficient, if files have not changed, Git doesn’t store the file again, just a link to the previous identical file it has already stored
Git thinks about its data more like a stream of snapshots.
Some cool terms 😎
- Snapshot: It records all your files at a given point of time so that you can look up at them anytime later.
- Commit: The act of creating a snapshot is called a commit. One is advised to commit his code whenever there are significant changes made.
- Repository: The location or digital storage where all your files are stored
- Head: The reference to the most recent commit is called Head
- Branches: All commits live on some branch and there can be many branches in a single project repository.
Concept of branches 🌳
Easy to understand
Open Source contribution
In 6 Easy Steps
Make Your First Open Source Contribution with Us
Step 1: Find Your Project!
First step for starting open source is obviously, finding an open source project to contribute to!
Either you can go for contributing the project os some open source organisation like fossasia etc. Or, you can find your projects/issues you want ot work on from these websites.
- http://issuehub.io/ - A website which helps you find projects/issues based on your required language or issue labels.
- Code Triage - Another useful tool for searching issues
- Up For Grabs - List of projects with issues that can be resolved by beginners
- First Timers Only - A list of issues that are labelled "first-timers-only".
- Awesome First Timers - A list of awesome beginners-friendly projects.
How to find your org?
Step 2: Fork The Repo!
Fork the repo by clicking on the fork button on the top of the page. This will create a copy of the repository in your account.
Step 3: Clone The Repo
Step 4: Make A New Branch For The Changes You Need To Make!
Step 5: Make Changes and push the code!
Step 6: Submit A Pull Request!
Good Luck Champ!
The World Of Open Source Awaits You!
