Pro Tips:
1. Make sure you choose a project to work on that has a lot of outstanding issues. Any project above 200-300 open issues gives you the opportunity to move from basic bugs to full features.
2. Start with the "good first issue" bugs, as they are very beginner friendly and often change or refactor a single line. These will help you become familiar with the codebase, get used to how code is written for that repository, and build a relationship with the codebase owners.
3. Track good commit history metrics, find out how commit messages are written by opening the git log for that repository. This will help you stand out from other developers.
