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?
