Contribute Code to Git

[Alangi Derick Ndimnain]

Hello,
    I am Alangi Derick Ndimnain, a third year computer engineering student, 
University of Buea. I have been using git on many of my projects and also 
GitHub(online version) to do my version control on most of my projects. I 
always wondered how thing usually happen in the background so i decided to 
contribute code and fix bugs(if any) :) on the version control system.
    I will like to have some advices and also start working on the system and 
also legally make myself part of this mailing list so i can get to talk with 
other developers. I am proficient in C and i wish to contribute.
    
Thanks and will be waiting for help or comments.

A few advices from my end are:

 - Think yourself and remember what annoyances, troubles and issues
   you had with your daily use of Git.  They are good problems to
   tackle, as you have a first-hand experience with them.  Don't
   go hunting for "problems to solve".  That will likely end up
   wasting your time (and reviewers' time as well).

 - Start by reading everything other people post, until you notice
   whose posts are worth your time reading.  And then, concentrate
   on following the discussion threads they are involved in, to
   learn how the best discussions are carried out on this list.

Thanks.
