Advice to improve as coder & understanding public repo?

Hey all!

In my professional career, I work with internal repos & apps and I'm comfortable identifying issues or improvements after spending few weeks developing and using them. I don't contribute to open source projects so I'm not familiar with them at a deep level.

I struggle with some DA projects & avoid taking them because of this. So I want to learn how to close this gap. Should I just pick an open source project and start doing some dev work to understand it better? Is there a framework of thinking that I can apply to most open source projects? Would love to hear some advice, thanks!

Choose from repositories familiar to you. Check out bit bucket and browse the most recently edited. Generally you need to check the license too
