I am super excited to delve into this. It has always been intimidating (to me at least) to find a project and contribute. The thoughts of rejection and imposter syndrome convince me not to give it a try. This article made me feel more confident, especially about handling Git! Thank you so much!

I personally love to read articles based on best practices for gaming programming. I haven't done much of a search, but I really would love to find more information about different types of open source game projects!

Easy to forget how complex it is to do this for the first time, I'm just like "submit a PR!". It's a really useful guide 👍

Is there any important open source project, for people with advanced knowledge in html, css/sass, javascript, php or C#?

Hey Marcos! That's a good question. There are indeed important open source projects for people like yourself. To find them, I recommend you use Quira.sh (link at the bottom of the article) and filter by the language and topic of your choice. You should find many projects surrounding these languages. You can read their projects and issues to decide if you want to jump in and contribute. Hope that helps.
