| Last week(2022-05-12), we had 2 designated Good First Issues listed out for everyone |
| in a First Come, First Served manner, which was fun, and they were taken almost instantly... |
| but not so fun for those who were interested and failed to get one. |
| |
| So, we decided, no more competition, you can pick whatever |
| you like from our github issue pages, or even create your own one if no more left! |
| We are community after all! |
| |
| Now, how do we proceed? It's simple! Go to our [issues page](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22), and then click here. all our Good First Issue are listed out here. |
|  |
| |
| - Firstly, go for existing issues if any, find one that you like, |
| you can claim it by sending comment like "I'll take it", |
| you can choose to write a Plan of Attack to show your understanding of the problem and |
| what steps would you take to solve the problem, and then start working on PR for the issue. |
| |
| - Secondly, what if there are no more GFIs left? Yes, that is the most important part. |
| Create your own issues! Now, by looking into our code base, |
| you can definitely find many problem, like documentation, unit-test, even typo. |
| File issues for things you don't feel right, and we will verify if it is valid, |
| and then you can work on it. |
| |
| - Finally, you may ask, why do I go through all these troubles to write code for you? |
| No, you don't code for us, you code for everyone in the community, you code for yourself, |
| for your skills, to learn how to cooperate with others. And for those who made significant contribution, |
| we offer you a seat of Apache Committer, or even PPMC. |
| |
| That's all, feel free to ask any questions. And Happy Coding! |
