I am interested in applying to Google Summer of Code with the Git project. I am currently setting up my development environment and reviewing the recommended microprojects to become familiar with the Git workflow and contribution process. If anyone has advice on a good starting microproject or areas where new contributors could help, I would greatly appreciate the guidance. Best regards, Mohamed Ayman ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2026-03-10 17:27 Subject: Re: Question about microprojects for GSoC Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/xmqqtsunvbm2.fsf%40gitster.g In-Reply-To: ``` MOHAMED AYMAN writes: > Hello, > > My name is Mohamed Ayman and I am an engineering student specializing > in embedded systems.

That place should have links to microprojects ideas. https://git.github.io/General-Microproject-Information/ is one of the canonical starting point. No microprojects done by new contributors "could help" us, as a microproject by definition is a trivial "Hello world" project that is to help new contributors dip their toes in the water, getting introduced to the development process. Look at the list archive https://lore.kernel.org/git and see what other aspiring GSoC applicants are already working on. Have fun. ```
