#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 We recommend that you start by finding a project that you’re already (or are interested in) using. Here are a few great places to look:
GitHub Explore: Popular and trending projects. GitHub Stars: Projects starred by other people. GitHub Showcases: A way to discover related repositories. Designer News: Front-end development and design projects.
