@C0D4 you forgot a few steps
After finding a repo you should:
1. Read CONTRIBUTING.md
2. Look through the issues for a problem to solve. People dont like random pull requests. You can also file your own issue and start a discussion. -
@Codex404 thanks

@C0D4 thanks

@Codex404 isn't that what I said?
Ok maybe not the existing issues one... -
@C0D4 the issues is the main part of being accepted.
Missed the comment about the contribution guide. -
I want to start contributing to open source softwares, but I don't know whom to approach or what is the criteria if there is some for getting selected in open source softwares.
I read many articles on the internet, all of them mentioned what activities one can do in an OSS, but neither mentioned of how to approach them.
Please someone give me a route of getting into OSS.
