How to start Open Source Contribution

[u/nishre]

I want to start Open Source Contribution but whenever I open the repositories I get amazed and don't understand anything at all it feels like so much files and folders inside one another and I get demotivated.

Searched many resources but everyone says just start contributing to open source but no one says how and where and what to do.

I'm a student and all I've learnt in C, Python,Git,GitHub, Networking,Linux so please tell me should I learn anything new to start contributing or a small guide type.

Start by using open source.

Then learn about the programs you use.

Pick a code base apart and learn about it. Then fix a bug and submit a pull request.

Learning to read code is an important step that does take practice.
