Looking for Guidance

[Maruf346]

Hello everyone! 👋

I’m new to GitHub and excited to start learning how things work here. I’m still getting familiar with concepts like repositories, issues, pull requests, and discussions.

I’d really appreciate any guidance on:

1. How to get started contributing to this repository
2. Beginner-friendly issues or tasks
3. Best practices I should follow as a newcomer

Thanks in advance for your help and for being a welcoming community! 😊

Welcome to GitHub — great to have you here!

Since you’re getting started, here are a few simple steps that usually help newcomers contribute confidently:

1. Explore the repository
Check the README and any contributing guidelines. These usually explain the project’s purpose, structure, and how contributions are expected.

2. Look for beginner‑friendly issues
Many repositories label tasks like:
• “good first issue”
• “help wanted”
These are perfect for learning the workflow without being overwhelmed.

3. Start with small contributions
You can begin by:
• Fixing typos or improving documentation
• Reproducing an issue and adding details
• Trying simple bug fixes or enhancements

4. Learn the basic workflow
A typical contribution flow is:

• Fork the repository
• Create a new branch
• Make your changes
• Open a Pull Request (PR)
• Respond to feedback from maintainers

5. Follow best practices
• Keep PRs small and focused
• Write clear commit messages
• Be respectful and collaborative in discussions
• Ask questions when something is unclear — maintainers appreciate it

GitHub is a very welcoming place, and starting small is the best way to build confidence. You’re already on the right track by asking questions!
