Nice that you have already done a microproject! It would have been better if you already added [GSoC] to the title of your patches so that we could more easily find them. > I have become familiar with mailing lists as well now so it isn't > an issue. I want to know in which direction should I proceed now. In https://git.github.io/SoC-2019-Microprojects/ you can find the following: "If you’ve already done a microproject and are itching to do more, then get involved in other ways, like finding and fixing other problems in the code, or improving the documentation or code comments, or helping to review other people’s patches on the mailing list, or answering questions on the mailing list or in IRC, or writing new tests, etc., etc. In short, start doing things that other Git developers do! Alternatively you can of course focus on your project proposal." So I would suggest you follow the above advice. As we haven't proposed projects yet, you can perhaps look for a project that you would be interested in. As we say in https://git.github.io/SoC-2019-Ideas/ the ideas we will propose will be just … ideas, and the list we will propose will not be exhaustive, and also we are more than happy to receive proposals for other ideas related to Git. Be sure to read the "Note about refactoring projects versus projects that implement new features" though. Best, Christian.
