Your journey into open-source starts here!

A month-long program starting in October for students to start their journey in the world of open-source.
The Only requirement is having an enthusiastic heart to learn. 😻

OpenCode has quickly grown to become one of India’s largest open-source events. The event, which is a celebration of tech and diversity, aims to provide a safe and inclusive environment for contributors to come together, learn and build.

Additionally, in order to elucidate our contributors of OpenCode’21 about open-source, we will be hosting sessions of Edward Cable, President, and CEO of Mifos, Mario Behling, the founder of FOSSASIA, Mrugesh Mohapatra, the principal maintainer of Infrastructure & Open Source at freeCodeCamp, and many more industry-renowned speakers, at OpenCode’21.

How Opencode works?

1. Explore: Go to https://github.com/opencodeiiita and find the project which suits you best.

2. Claim Issue: It doesn't matter whether you know how to solve it. Don't look out for issues you know how to solve, but rather the ones you don't know how to solve! This will be your opening door to learning something new.

3. Solve Issue: After claiming the issue, now it's the time to explore ways on how to proceed. Mentors and Google will be to your rescue here. Take advantage of both to the most.

4. Open a Pull Request: After reading everything on internet ever written and those to be written in future, it's the time to open your PR. This will be the golden moment, where you will discover another 100 ways git could make you cry!

5. Climb the Leaderboard: After spending another sleepless night to see your PR getting merged, it's time to climb up the leaderboard and enjoy that shortliving "I love Programming" feeling!
