Hi @mohitbansal321,

So, if I understood the question correctly, you're saying that the good first issues were slightly difficult for you, right? I will answer accordingly.

Good first issues are labeled to attract people new to open source. They can range from simple tasks like documentation to formatting. However, many repository owners don't understand this concept and may attach good first issue labels to even difficult tasks in an attempt to attract more contributors.

That's why I mentioned that organizational repositories would always have sensible labels, ensuring that their good first issues align with the principles.

For example, this is a good first issue that you can easily complete by reading the contributing guidelines, i.e., contributing.md.

You can certainly find issues labeled as good first issue. You can try several options, including GitHub's advanced filter, GitHub trending, and Quine.

There will always be issues for people comfortable with open source and looking to contribute to a significant project.
