As you also sent me a private message, I already replied privately. But for the public record and maybe other applicants for an Outreachy internship who might be interested in working on Git, we have information about how to get started contributing on the following pages:

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

About microproject ideas, we haven't set up a specific page yet for this Outreachy round. Maybe we will do it but you shouldn't count on it. You can still take a look at the pages for the previous GSoC or Outreachy rounds like:

- https://git.github.io/SoC-2022-Microprojects/
- https://git.github.io/Outreachy-23-Microprojects/
- https://git.github.io/SoC-2020-Microprojects/

You will see that some ideas are quite generic and we propose them over and over as they are still valid.

You are welcome to ask specific questions (publicly is preferred so that others can benefit).

Thanks again for your interest in working on Git, Christian.
