This page contains setup instructions for Contribute with me! Getting started with open source development.
Goal #1: install a text editor
(Estimated completion time: 2 - 10 minutes)
We need a good text editor (not a word processor!) for editing Python code.
If you already have a preferred text editor, you can use it instead, but note that word processors like Microsoft Word and Notepad will not work.
Goal #2: install git
(Estimated completion time: 5 minutes)
git
is a popular version control system, which we'll use for managing and collaborating on open source projects.
(Estimated completion time: 10 - 15 minutes)
Many of the tools of open source development are primarily used via the command line. Let's get some practice with navigating the computer from the command line.
Goal #4: install an IRC client
(Estimated completion time: 5 minutes)
IRC is a real-time chat protocol that open source projects often use to talk about the project and as a medium for users and developers to help each other.
Goal #5: create an OpenHatch account
(Estimated completion time: 2 minutes)
OpenHatch is a non-profit that helps connect people with open source projects. We'll use some of the tools on this site to practice.
Goal #6: create a GitHub account
(Estimated completion time: 2 minutes)
GitHub is a popular website for hosting open source projects that use Git. We'll use GitHub to collaborate on projects..
Success!
