How to look for an open-source project to contribute?

So, you decided you want to start contributing to open source. Great 👍! Now you just need to pick a project to contribute to... but how do you do that? Where do you look for projects? Are all projects open to contributions?

We know this can be a difficult process, especially if it's your first time contributing to open source. For that reason, we have assimilated a list of tips to help you find a project to contribute to. The list also contains links to other resources about this topic from various authors, to help you further in finding projects that welcome contributors such as yourself 😃.

Tips

  • Look at our projects in the chryz-hub GitHub organization.
  • Have a look at your friends and community projects.
  • A good place to find projects is Twitter. People share projects on what they are working on, or simply repositories they found interesting.
  • Look at the projects/libraries/frameworks you already use, are there improvements you can make, or look at their issues list.
  • Search issues on GitHub and filter by labels like hacktoberfest or good-first-issue
  • Take a look at the Explore feature on GitHub. You can see the trending repositories or choose by topic (e.g. python)
