On a previous article, i shared the fact that i submitted my first PR on a open-source project.

And guess what ? my PR has been merged :)

## What was your contribution ?

My contribution was super simple.
It was on a Golang app, and the PR was about removing unused code.

Super simple :) 

## How did you find it ?

I used different resources to search for something i could do : 

- i wanted a project in Golang
- i wanted a small repository where i could submit my PR and have reviews.
- i did not wanted a big repository.
- but the repository must be active , with active reviewers and PR merged on a regular basis

I found my issue on  [UpForGrabs](https://up-for-grabs.net/#/)

And also , this [super useful link from freecodecamp](https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/how-to-contribute-to-open-source) => it's a goldmine :) 

## You can do it

If i can do it, you can definitely do it :) 

There are soooo many issues out there, some are super simple like the one i did.
Don't think you are not good enough to start contributing.

I am now looking for my next contribution, i am gonna try something more difficult that just removing some code hahaha :) 

Share in the comments your first contribution to open-source :)
