Hi Soutrik, welcome to the community!

Completing a small microproject before applying to GSoC is strongly recommended, as it helps you get familiar with Git's codebase and contribution workflow.

You can pick a task from the microprojects list here: https://git.github.io/SoC-2025-Microprojects/ If you are unsure how to begin, searching the mailing list archives for the microproject's keywords can be very helpful. You will find similar patches and discussions to reference.

Also, these guides are useful before sending your first patch: https://git.github.io/General-Microproject-Information/ https://git-scm.com/docs/MyFirstContribution

Best, Deveshi
