Dear Git community,

I hope you are all doing well. I am writing to show my interest in
working in the project titled move existing tests to a unit testing
framework. This is because I have always been intrigued by the work
the git community does and hence I am interested in being part of
this. I have gone through the links provided about getting started on
this. I spent yesterday evening and a better part of today trying to
understand the resources. As of now I would like to start working on a
microproject since I understand this is the first step. I am finding
it difficult though to start. Someone to please help me understand how
I should go about this or how I should go about finding my first
microproject. Just a brief explanation will help.
Thank you in advance.


Best regards,

Doreen Wanyama
