First Contributions — your first open-source pull request
A repository whose only purpose is to walk you through making a real pull request, step by step. The point is getting the first one — genuinely intimidating — out of the way.
- Computer Science
- Who can enter
- Ages 13+ (GitHub's own minimum) worldwide. Free; written for people who have never used git
- What it costs
- Free, and a GitHub account is free too. The contribution you make here is a real one that stays on your public profile.
- When it closes
- We could not confirm this year's date against the organiser's own page, so we are not showing a countdown for it. Last published: Open all year: about twenty minutes, free.
Sending this to someone sends the four facts above, not just a name. They will see who can enter and what it costs before they decide.
