Conclusion
So I got an oppurnity to contribute to various kinds of project ranging from tech stacks like python, java to HTML, Javascript and React.
I got to learn basic git commands like clone, pull, push to merge my first pull request.
I got to learn why documentations is important in any open source project and how to write a well documented Readme file so everyone will find it easier to understand about the project.
I would like to thank Kharagpur Winter Of Code for giving us an opportunity to be a part of such a big open source event and learn various new concept.
