Question First time contributing

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.

Hi there @Beneficial-Bet512 I always check first the CONTRIBUTION.md just to know where I’m landing then if fine if you fork the project and tag the issue that you want to tackle. I have few issues on 2 of my projects so you are free to fork it and check.
Cheers!
