  Hello,
My Name is Hazem Alrawi, CS student
I want to deep dive into git codebase and begin contributing to open
source but I encountered some problems and I have no idea how to solve
them, so can you please guide me to fully understand what's going on?
here is my prior background
-C++
-Data structures
-Algorithms
-OOP
I used to solve Problems on different platforms like Codeforces and leetcode
Codeforces Handle:HazemRawi
LeetCode Username:HazemRawi
I've solved more than 1500 problem on different algorithms and DS (You
will find them listed on leetcode account)
What is the prerequisite I have to learn in order to start fixing bugs
and begin contributing to open source projects like git?

```
