Hey Git community, I'm Jayatheerth (he/him) you can call me Jay.

I'm pretty new to open source and since I know C, Python, Rust and Shell scripting and experience with Git, I wanted to contribute to Git itself. I always wanted to contribute to open source code as I use them on a daily basis and I would love to stay even after GSOC...

So I had a question. I went through the documentation in Git source code as I'm new to Git and I found that there were several outdated elements and issues.

Since Git suggests starting with a small microproject I wanted to ask for advice if updating MyFirstContribution.adoc would be a good micro project or am I looking in the wrong way?

Thank you, Jay
