Hi,

I am Krushnal, a 2-nd year Computer Engineering and GSoC'21 aspirant. I was going through the organizations and git caught my eye. I was really impressed by gt as it is due to its daily use but after seeing it listed in GSoC'21 I specifically want to focus on applying to git.

The project which I look forward to contributing is the git submodules conversion from bash to C. I would like to have a discussion on this project with either of the mentors Christian Couder or Shaurya Shukla regarding the next procedure for the selection process. C/C++ being my primary language and being decently proficient at bash, this project is perfect for me. I am ready to work on any pre-requisites required for the selection process

Hoping for a positive response. Sincerely, Krushnal

You might want to read the following pages:

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

At one point we will likely have a specific page that lists micro-projects, but it's better if you can find one by yourself and start working on it as soon as possible.

You can have discussions with us on this mailing list. Public discussions make sure we don't favor anyone and we don't repeat ourselves too much.

Best, Christian.

I hope you are not considering C++ to be a subset of C or vice-versa. Both of them are veyr different languages with similar syntaxes ;)

Nice. As Christian said, the compulsory pre-requisite is the Microproject. You may choose any project you like, having a look at last year's entries for the microproject will definitely help. The search bar on the top left is your best friend for accessing previous work(s) and discussions.

Feel free to ask anything. Please do not hesitate, people are friendly here :)

As soon as you are done with the Microproject, you may start discussing about the project you have chosen as well as your potential proposal.

Regards, Shourya Shukla
