Making your first contribution to an open source library can be very daunting. If you’re like me, I was/am nagged by self-doubt and a fear that I would/will “do it wrong.” I worry about the mocking of other developers, all solidified by years of open source contributions. If you are stuck in the self-doubt phase, but want to jump in, you may be asking “What’s the first step?” or “How do I contribute?” Well, We aim to answer those kinds of questions by walking you through steps.
