So far, 2 PRs merged, 2 more to go! 🛠</p> <p>At first, I wasn’t sure where to start, but once I found the right projects, the experience became both rewarding and educational. From collaborating with maintainers to navigating new codebases, I’ve learned so much. The open-source community has been incredible, offering support at every step.</p> <p>With two more PRs to go, I’m excited to keep contributing and growing through this journey. If you're on the fence about joining, just dive in—you won’t regret it!</p> <p>Regards,<br> Gautam Manchandani</p> github webdev opensource hacktoberfest
