I built a small repo for your first open-source pull request

Making your first open-source contribution is confusing.

It is not just code.

You have to understand:

Git
GitHub issues
branches
pull requests
CI checks
maintainer review
how to ask for help without feeling awkward

So I built Open Source Starter Lab.

It is a small beginner GitHub project designed for people who want to practice their first real pull request.

It includes:

good first issues
skill-based first issues
a Start Here guide
beginner-friendly Git help
a Discussion where you can tell me your skill and get a suggested issue
a First Merge Wall for contributors after their first merge

If you are learning open source, tell me what part feels hardest: choosing an issue, Git commands, pull requests, or reviews?

I built an accountability game for developers who ship.

I just launched the Weekly Builds Community.

The idea is simple: Show up, build something, and get recognized automatically.

Weekly Challenge: Every Monday, a new issue opens.
No Friction: Just a PR. No sign-ups. No apps.
Automation: Bots track your streaks and update the leaderboard instantly.
I built this because showing up is harder than shipping.

There are 18 Founding Member spots left in the README. If you want to build in public with a community that ships, come join.
