Open Source 4-Week Bootcamp

This is your own one-stop destination to learn and actually do hands-on practice with Open Source.

From hands-on exercises to easy-to-start open source projects, you get it all!

This has content for over next 4-weeks, which you can ofcourse complete at your self pace, before or after the said duration.

Over the years, I cracked GSoC twice ✌️, mentored hundreds of students in open source via Google Code-In, Codeheat and Google Summer of Code.

Currently, am a GSoC Admin & Mentor with AOSSIE.

You won't believe how Open Source has opened up career paths for me. It has helped me work at places like Google, Vedantu, Jio, Trell and more!

It's a super great way to learn & build experience to show on your portfolio 🚀

Hence, I have prepared this Bootcamp for you, with which you will be a Open Source Dev in 4-weeks ✅

Week 1: Git, VCS, CLI commands usage, Github, Gitlab

Week 2: Live Project Contributing

Week 3: GSoC Prep: Finding good orgs, how to choose and start contributing

Week 4: GSoC Prep: How to Draft a solid proposal, templates and Apply!

If you're wondering: 🤔

• How do I pick issues to work on?
• How should I create Pull Requests (PRs) ?
• How do I find bugs in a large codebase?
• How do I find good orgs? How can I get help?
• How to crack programs like GSoC, MLH ?

This is for you!

Starting from Week-3, this bootcamp also focuses specifically on Google Summer of Code - and how you can crack it.

Things like Drafting a solid GSoC Proposal and how to handle large codebase - are all covered!

Trust me when I say, it's all you need to get started and be a Open Source Dev already.
