Hi Jonathan, Hi Emily

Emily, you want to contribute to wireshark? That is awesome. I think I speak for everyone to send a HUGE welcome your way and hope your experience working on and with wireshark be excellent!

I think a git dissector would be really awesome. We do have a packet-git.c already in wireshark, but looking at it it is very barebones (understatement of the year:-) but getting a real full blown git protocol implementation would be totally awesome.

I am more than happy to provide feedback and advice for Emily. We do have pretty good development documentation so it should be pretty easy to get started and get a development environment up and running.

( Jonathan, remember that smb2 client I was working on, libamb2? I got it to run on PlayStation2 now. It is totally awesome being able to use SMB3.1.1 and full encryption to copy file between the PS2 memory card and Azure cloud file server :-) )

best regards Ronnie Sahlberg
