Dear Git Organization, I am writing to express my strong interest in participating in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2024 with the Git Organization. As a highly motivated Final-year Electrical and Electronics Engineer, I am eager to contribute to the open-source community and learn from experienced developers like yourselves. While this is my first foray into open-source development and GSoC, I am excited by the prospect of contributing to the ongoing success of Git. I have been actively learning and gaining a strong foundation in Git commands, programming languages, and version control concepts. I am particularly interested in the following project ideas: 1) Implement consistency checks for refs 2) Move existing tests to a unit testing framework However, I understand the importance of starting with smaller contributions before taking on a larger project like GSoC. I am eager to begin by contributing to micro-projects and familiarizing myself with the Git codebase and development workflow. In this regard, I would greatly appreciate any guidance you can offer on where to find existing micro-projects and how to get involved in the Git community. Additionally, I would be grateful for any resources or suggestions that can help me prepare for GSoC and submit a strong proposal. Thank you for your time and consideration. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to the Git project and look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Aishwarya N aishnana.03@xxxxxxxxx https://github.com/Aishwarya-Narayanan03
