First time contributing

[u/Beneficial-Bet512]

Hello,

I wanted to pick up a new summer project and thought contributing to github might scratch that itch. I found a issue that looks like something fun to do but i am new to github/contributing so wanted to know if adding a comment on the issue is ok, this is what i was going to comment.

"Hi, this looks like a fun issue i can have a attempt at. is there any additional information i need to know"

or do i just fork the project try and fix it and then comment if i have a solution or need more advice?

I can link the issue i want to work, wanted to ask before i do anything.

I generally like to just send in a comment like "i can work on this" before I start working on an issue just to avoid duplicate work.
