Great, please take a look at the documentation we have on https://git.github.io/, especially the pages and sections I mention below.

First, we require that applicants make a small code contribution (we call that a micro-project) to the Git project. This is explained here:

https://git.github.io/General-Microproject-Information/

and there is information about how to find micro-project ideas.

Now we have recently added a "Thoroughly check your eligibility in the program" sub-section to that page. Please read it, check your eligibility and confirm that you meet all the requirements soon.

Then there are links to tutorials and a number of other useful link for Git developers on this page:

https://git.github.io/Hacking-Git/

Also the following page is useful as it contains more general information about how to apply:

https://git.github.io/General-Application-Information/

Best, Christian.
