Contributing to Open Source on GitHub

A great way to get involved in open source is to contribute to the existing projects you’re using. GitHub is home to more than 5 million open source projects. There are projects for every skill set like recipes, HTML/CSS, Ruby, Astrophysics and many more. This guide will cover what you might find in a typical project and how to make a great contribution.

Find Projects

GitHub Explore: Popular and trending projects.
GitHub Stars: Projects starred by other people.
