The Git project often participate in the Google Summer of Code.

This year we used the following resources to help potential GSoC
students get involved in developing Git and find a project to work on:

http://git.github.io/SoC-2015-Microprojects.html
http://git.github.io/SoC-2015-Ideas.html

A GSoC wrap up has been written recently in Git Rev News edition 7:

Earlier this year students from Ensimag (Grenoble, France) also
contributed to Git and a small wrap up is available in Git Rev News
edition 5:

I hope this will help you get started in your Git development journey.

Best,
Christian.
