Becoming an awesome open source contributor
summary
How to start contributing: find an active repo on GitHub or sites like up-for-grabs and first-timers-only, open an issue, follow the project’s CONTRIBUTING.md, learn the ~nine basic git commands and submit a pull request; contributions can be documentation, graphics or tests, not just code. Maintainers must add a license (for example MIT license), a code of conduct and clear guidelines. Many contributors gain networking, feedback and even free tools (e.g. JetBrains/Red Gate/Resharper).
