Hello,

We are students from Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 in France in
first year of Master’s degree Computer Science
We want to try to contribute to the Git project as a part of
our studies.
Our mentor in this work is Matthieu Moy, who has already contributed
to Git a lot.

So, we are looking for ideas to start our contribute.
Can you help us ?
And if we have an idea, how we submit it to be sure that we don't
go in something wrong. Is there a special tag ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely,
COGONI Guillaume and BRESSAT Jonathan

Welcome to the Git project!

If you need ideas, you could look for tickets at
https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/issues (an inofficial bug tracker for
the Git project). You might want to look for the label "good first issue",
e.g. https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/issues/1125

There is no special tag. You might want to mention your background in the
cover letter, but that is not necessary.

Looking forward to your contributions!
Johannes
