Ask HN: How to get acquainted with an open source code base?

3 pointsrs861 comment

I am a computer scientist with solid theory but not much practice. How could I for example contribute to Neovim?

I started contributing to ckb-next[1] through simply hanging around the IRC channel, and absorbing the developers trying to explain and fix bugs, and asking questions about things I didn't understand, and relevant source code.
