(Small) projects for students

(Small) projects for students

[Matthieu Moy]

Hi,

Last year, I proposed to my students (in Ensimag) to contribute to Git
as part of a school project. The students implemented nicer error
messages when "git checkout/pull/others" have conflicts between
untracked files and tracked files, and the textconv feature in "git
blame" and "git gui blame".

Last year, I asked the students to chose themselves the feature they
wanted to implement, but it didn't work very well, students didn't have
many ideas, and SoC projects were too big.

To prepare this year's project, I created a wiki page listing ideas of
projects they could implement:

  https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SmallProjectsIdeas

Your comments, and idea suggestions, are welcome.

Regards,

Thanks.  I agree it is a good idea to list bite-sized projects to help new
people to dip their toes.

The last one seems to already have a weatherbaloon, though:

Great! I added a small project about the "git bisect fix/unfixed" feature that 
Dscho started to implement a few years ago.

Thanks,
Christian.
