Hi everyone! 🙏 Can someone guide me on the first steps to take? Should I start by picking an open issue? Are there beginner-friendly issues tagged? How do I test or run the course locally if needed? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance! 🍕 |

Hey! 🙏 For getting started, yeah, picking an open issue is a good idea. Try searching for tags like As for running the course locally—most buttons in the repo usually handle that, or there's a short setup guide. That said, beginner-friendly issues can either get too competitive or be really basic (like “change a name field and push it”), which doesn’t help much. I'd say instead: Pick anything and go all in. Repos need help in all kinds of ways. GitHub can feel like a lot at first, but you’ll realize you only ever need a small part of it to get started. Once you take the first step, it gets easier. You got this! 🍕 |

Hey! 🙏
I’m new to open source too and recently came across OpenSauced's intro repo—awesome that you're looking to contribute!

good-for-first
,first-timers
, or even just Google stuff like:good first issues in python github
That usually leads me somewhere useful.

Do you code? Prefer writing or translating docs? Good at sh…
