Beginning in contributing open source
Explain ideas fairly
- Not every PR will be merged, good to create new issue.
- Submiting PR straight away is not a good idea, better to proof that
Prepare draft proposal
- Show that you care about impacts
- You must convince the maintainers that your change is worth it.
- Be kind
- its possible that your change is not needed, so its getting rejected
- Good PR must have quality - readible code
- clean, testable, idiomatic code
- Is it contributing docs good start? Yes great way to start
- Proper open source projects have Contributors gidelines
- Check for first good issues tag
- Big open source projects could accept PR, do research about it.
