What are your go-to resources, for learning new things in open source? The first go-to resource for learning open source concepts alongside contributing to it is 'GitHub' . GitHub provides us convenience for contributing , raising issues and more things. YouTube is also good for learning concepts. Going through documentation gives us a more clear and broad view. And lastly supportive friends from any social media platforms who encourages us to go forward. I find these resources really helpful. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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 :) |

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.
