Hi everyone.

My name is Soutrik Das. I am doing Mtech in AI from IIT Bhubaneswar , India.
I want to try and submit a microproject and see if I can even contribute to git.
The last few days I have been reading the pages in
https://git.github.io/GSoC-Participants/ . And I understood the
general flow that I have to Introduce myself -> Make git from scratch
-> Understand and then try to do a small patch which would be a hello
world for me. -> Then I would send my application and the community
would help me refine it.

But I am a bit lost on the First Patch / microproject thing. I am
reading the HackingGit page for now.


Nice to Meet you,
Soutrik
