Join the global code community. Understand licenses, contribution etiquette, and how to make your first Pull Request on GitHub.
Open Source Software (OSS) powers the world. This course guides you on how to become a contributor, not just a consumer. You will learn the difference between licenses (MIT, GPL, Apache) and what they mean for usage. We cover the unwritten rules of community etiquette, how to find 'good first issues,' and the technical workflow of forking, branching, and submitting a Pull Request. You will also learn that documentation and translation fixes are valuable contributions, making this accessible even to non-coders.
