Hi ,

I would like to contribute to git.

Can you guys point me to some useful resources to get me started to
contribute to git.

Also does git have something like junior jobs so that It can be done
by new to contribution.

Also searching about the git in google points to some other
organisation which uses git  :(    (well this is because of the
popularity of the git)

```

I suggest you go through the Documentation, especially 
"Documentation/CodingGuidelines" and "Documentation/SubmittingPatches" 
to get an idea of the workflow and guidelines for contributing to Git.

All issues and bugs are discussed on the mailing list, so keep going 
through the list for potential problems.

There is also Junio's Blog where he keeps a list of things to be done

http://git-blame.blogspot.de/p/leftover-bits.html

You could pick something from there and work on that.

Have Fun.

Regards,
Karthik

Thanks. I think the latter is much more appropriate as a list of
starter projects.
