[GSoC] Introduction and selecting microproject

Meet Soni· Dec 16, 2024, 11:46 UTC · lore

Hi everyone,

I am Meet Soni, a Computer Engineering bachelor’s student currently in my 6th semester. I am an open-source enthusiast and enjoy contributing to various projects. I had the privilege of being a GSoC 2024 student with the Python Software Foundation, where I worked with cve-bin-tool.

I’ve been using Linux and Git for a couple of years now. Contributing to Git feels like a natural step forward - a great opportunity to give back and learn while contributing to a project that has been so useful to my everyday workflow.

After reading the applicant microproject documentation, I have selected the microproject involving the modernization of test scripts and would like to work on implementing test_path_is_* in the script t7611-merge-abort.sh.

I look forward to your guidance and feedback as I begin this contribution. Please let me know if there are any additional steps I need to follow or considerations to keep in mind.

Best regards, Meet Soni

GSoC for 2024 is already over, and we have not yet started to think about GSoC 2025. So while you are of course free to start working on any of the microprojects and contribute to Git, this would not be in the context of GSoC for now. You should keep an eye on the mailing list and on official announcements made by Google to learn when the next set of GSoC projects will be announced.
