Share What You Learn

Share what you learn as you go on your open-source journey. We can add comments to the code, write wiki pages or articles, or even file issues in the codebase to better understand. When we're ready to start contributing, we should pick a task, dive into the code, and start experimenting with it by adding print statements or breakpoints. This will help us get familiar with the code and the build process so that we can be more effective when making meaningful contributions.
