If you can create a free GitHub account and make a few pull requests, you can help drive growth of open source and make positive contributions to an ever-growing community. No contribution is too big or too small, and there are more ways to contribute than writing code. Many projects need help writing and reviewing documentation, designing diagrams or logos, and adding basic repo infrastructure like CONTRIBUTING docs and licensesAll backgrounds and skill levels are encouraged to complete the challenge.
