Hello everyone,

I'm Arnav Bhate, currently in my second year of undergrad and a first-time GSoC applicant. I've been interested in contributing to the open source community for a while now, but never had the confidence to participate before. I'm using GSoC as an opportunity to start contributing, and I will continue after as well.

I've decided to do the 'Fix Sign Comparison Warnings in Git's Codebase' microproject, and I already have a patch for decorate.c ready, which I will send soon. Since, it is a rather small file, there was not much to fix and I will work on more files.

As it is my first time collaborating through such a workflow, or on a project of such scale, I hope you will provide your guidance and tell me if I make mistakes.

Regards,
Arnav Bhate
