🎉First PR? Get paid for it

Introducing Dollar Deletions — a special campaign only for first-time contributors.

​We know large codebases can be intimidating, so we are paying you $1 for your first accepted Pull Request where you safely delete unused or legacy code.

👉 Why are we doing this?

We are preparing for a major migration! To do this safely, we need to thoroughly clear out the existing repository. Your deletions will help us sweep away all the old files so we can seamlessly move our brand-new system into the clean repo.

đź§ą Clean up real production code
đź§  Learn how large codebases work
🚀 Make your first open-source contribution
đź’µ Earn your first dollar online

How it works

  1. Find dead or unnecessary code in our repository.

  2. Submit your first-ever PR to remove it.

  3. Pass the code review (your changes must not break existing functionality).

  4. Get $1 via GitHub Sponsors!

📌 The Rules

  • This campaign is only for first-time contributors to this repo.
  • Your PR must include a clear explanation of what you removed and why.
  • The code must remain fully functional after your deletion.
  • Limited to one reward per contributor.

🏆 Bonus: Referral Leaderboard!

Spread the word and climb the ranks! You can refer others to this initiative. Just have the PR mentioning that you are referring a contributor as @user1 refers @user2 and link that PR to our mega issue. This will track the mention and boost @user1's rank on our referral leaderboard.

đź’ˇNot sure where to start? Look for issues labeled good-first-deletion to get your bearings.
