Contributing to Open Source: A Guide
summary
Shows a concrete contribution pipeline: fork, branch, add tests, push and open a GitHub pull request that passes continuous integration, with emphasis on a minimal reproducing example for issues and tests to make reviews quick. Uses real tooling (Git, GitHub, Travis) and examples (black issue #282, many fixes in dateutil totaling 171 merged PRs) and recommends labels like good first issue plus changelog entries and small, reviewable commits.
