Git was started before GitHub (and many such platforms) existed, and we still use a mostly email based workflow, even if we do use GitHub and other platforms for some things like code hosting and CI. > 1.

Similar to a "good-first-issue" label on GitHub? We have the following documentation: https://git.github.io/General-Microproject-Information/ There is also the microproject idea page from last year's GSoC: https://git.github.io/SoC-2022-Microprojects/ We haven't updated it for this year yet, so some ideas might be outdated. It might be a good idea anyway to discuss a bit your micro-project idea on the list when you have found one before starting to work on it. > Based on your responses, I can also update the documentation, so that others > like me can get started quickly! We do use GitHub (at https://github.com/git/git.github.io/) for our Developer Pages (at https://git.github.io/) where we have a lot of useful docs for developers. We also use GitHub (at https://github.com/git/git-scm.com) for our main web site at https://git-scm.com/. If you want to contribute as part of the Google Summer of Code 2023, it's best to say so and to add "[GSoC]" at the start of your email subjects. Thanks and welcome to the Git community, Christian.
