How the Fork Do I Contribute to Open Source
summary
Explains concrete steps: use GitHub fork and pull request to send changes back, or submit an issue if you can only report a bug; build small reusable tools or abstractions and publish a repo, then expect to maintain your repo as issues and pull requests arrive; add tests and test coverage/builder status badges so others know it's safe; notes larger projects run public review sessions for PRs and reviewers may ask for more tests or reject changes.
