Hello Everyone,

I am Khalid Masum Labnan, An undergraduate at Islamic University of
Technology, Bangladesh, Currently majoring in Software Engineering. I
would like to get involved in Git development as I want to be part of
this community and would like to use GSoC as the starting point.

I would like to submit a patch on the microproject "Use test_path_is_*
functions in test scripts", by changing test t3501, if it is
available.

Regards,
Labnan

```

Absolutely! I'm not sure how much progress you've made on your patch, but
here are some resources you might find helpful:

- This particular microproject has been around for a while (at least since
  2019 [1]), so there are some past submissions of changes to other test
  files that might serve as a good reference ([2], [3]).
- If you need information on getting started (or even just how to submit
  your completed patch), you might want to take a look at the
  MyFirstContribution guide [4] - it's a really nice guide for getting set
  up for Git development.

Looking forward to your first submission!
-Victoria
