I'd recommend just doing a single file. t7006 is a good one. > In parallel, I'm following > gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/wikis/Development as suggested > through the #git-devel IRC channel Yes, building wireshark and making your first modification to it would be a good next step. One possible first modification would be to teach epan/dissectors/packet-git.c about sideband. See "Packfile Data" in git's Documentation/technical/pack-protocol.txt for how sideband works. Alternatively you can run wireshark and see if anything you see bothers you and make a first contribution that improves on that. :) Happy developing.
