User	Contribution
Shriganesh Gupta	Why do you want to get into open source? I want to get into open source because I want to be a part of a community of developers who are passionate about building and improving software. I also want to be able to understand large codebases, and I believe that contributing to open source projects is the best way to achieve this. Additionally, I am interested in learning more about the ways in which open source helps developers. For example, I am curious to learn more about how open source projects can provide developers with access to new technologies, best practices, and feedback from other developers. In short, I want to get into open source because I want to learn, grow, and contribute to the development community.
HIMANSHI BHARDWAJ	Why do you want to get into open source? I want to get into open source because it fascinates me a lot, how I can contribute in ohters' projects despite being a fresher. The best thing about open source, as its name suggests, is that it is open to all to see the source code, suggest chsnges to it and even make the projects better by their contributions. When project initiated by one mind gets the expertise and ideas of multiple minds, it always turns into something more fantastic and unique.
Pratik Rai	Which tech (tools, languages, libraries, etc) do you most use or love? I use React as a library for most of my projects.The tools that I use in most of my projects are VS Code, git and github. Javascript is my favourite language and I absolutely love it. It has infinite potential when it comes to developing web applications.
Anthony Onwuli	Which tech (tools, languages, libraries, etc) do you most use or love? I develop in Python for my academic research. I've had expereinces with machine learning using scikit-learn, tensorflow and pytorch. I'm trying to use pytorch with lightning at the moment to simplify a lot of my workflows.
Akash Rajpurohit	What's the most rewarding thing you've experienced in your open-source journey? The most rewarding aspect of my open-source journey has been witnessing my code being utilized and positively impacting the lives of countless developers and end users.
Ehtisham Sajjad	Which tech (tools, languages, libraries, etc) do you most use or love? I use JavaScript for work and fun. I plan to contribute to open source when possible.
Alicia Bot	What's the most rewarding thing you've experienced in your open-source journey? 🤖 Being forked 1,000 times and not feeling a thing! 😂
⭐ Alicia Sykes	The advice I would give to someone new to open source is: Don't be afraid to jump strait in, it's the best way to learn and great fun too! Find a project you're passionate about, or start your own, as contributing is far more fulfilling when you're working on something that you really care about :)

Contributing

Submitting contributions to any repository is easy!

The first step is to check out the projects contributing guidelines (here's ours). These will usually outline setup instructions, and give you pointers as to where and how you can contribute.

Next you'll need to either fork and clone the repo, or if it's a small change you can just edit it via the GitHub UI. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you get started with that.

Finally, you can submit the pull request! Head back to the source repo, and you should see a new button, saying "Create Pull Request". If the author has set a PR template, be sure it's filled in properly.
