announced[1]. We have 3 contributors contributing to Git this year[2]. 
They are as follows:


  - Ayush Chandekar

    Project: Refactoring in order to reduce Git’s global state
    Mentors: Christian Couder, Ghanshyam Thakkar

  - Lucas Seiki Oshiro

    Project: Machine-Readable Repository Information Query Tool
    Mentors: Karthik Nayak, Patrick Steinhardt

  - Meet Soni

    Project: Consolidate ref-related functionality into git-refs
    Mentors: Patrick Steinhardt, Jialuo She


Let us welcome them and wish them a good summer of contributing to Git 
via GSoC!

Thank you to all the contibutors who applied to Git this year! It was 
a bit tough to choose from multiple potential contributors who all were good 
in their own respect. Hoping to see you around continuing your 
contributions to the Git community in some way :-)

Ayush, Lucas and Meet,
Mentors are in the process of reaching out to their contributors. So, you'll hear from them soon.
