An educational GitHub repository that teaches newcomers the open-source contribution workflow through a hands-on simulation. Learners practice forking, branching, and submitting pull requests by fixing a guided issue.

Use cases

  • learn how to contribute to open source projects
  • practice making my first pull request
  • understand the GitHub fork and PR workflow
  • find a beginner-friendly repo for hacktoberfest
  • get hands-on experience with git branching and merging

When to choose

  • you are new to coding and want to learn open-source contribution mechanics
  • you need a safe sandbox to practice pull requests
  • you are participating in hacktoberfest and need qualifying contributions

When to avoid

  • you are an experienced developer familiar with GitHub workflows
  • you need production-ready software rather than a learning exercise
