I’ve been trying to contribute to freeCodeCamp, but I haven’t been able to find any beginner-friendly issues labeled “help wanted.” I’ve tried contributing twice, but both issues were closed before I could work on them.
I’m now looking for advice on how to contribute as a beginner. What’s the best way to get started? Any guidance would be appreciated!
You can look for first-timers issues, they are reserved to people doing their first contribution.
You can also set up the environment locally to start
make sure you read the documentation Contribute to the freeCodeCamp Community | Contribute | freeCodeCamp.org and familiarize yourself with the codebase. You can ask here in Contributors (btw I moved your post there), or in the discord server
Depending how familiar you already are with git and GitHub, you could try following the process, even if something is already solved, without the final PR submission on GitHub (stopping at comparing the branches). This could give a bit more confidence and give some idea what can be expected from the whole experience.
