No. GO to the website of GSSoC i.e. https://gssoc.girlscript.tech/ and you will find an option of Project in Navbar. just click there, and you'll find the projects to contribute. Thanks.

Hi there @realHKV 👋🏻

You can't contribute to random projects on Github, you need to visit Projects page on Official GSSoC's Website.

You can filter out the Projects using their Tech Stack, so finding the right tech stack can improve your contribution quality and your knowledge as well.

Thank You, hope to see you making valuable contributions!

You have the freedom to explore plethora of projects on GitHub for a diverse learning experience. Alternatively, focusing on Girlscript-affiliated projects allows you to contribute directly to initiatives aligned with their mission, learn and climb up the leaderboard . The choice depends on your interests and goals. Happy contributing :)

In GSSoC (GirlScript Summer of Code), you can contribute to projects affiliated with GirlScript or other open-source projects available on platforms like GitHub. Here's how it works:

1. GirlScript Affiliated Projects: GirlScript may provide a list of affiliated projects that are participating in GSSoC. These projects are often maintained or endorsed by GirlScript and are specifically open for contributions during the event.

2. Open Source Projects on GitHub: You can also contribute to any open-source project available on GitHub, even if it's not directly affiliated with GirlScript. There are thousands of projects covering various domains and technologies that welcome contributions from the community.

Here's how you can search for projects to contribute to:

1. Explore GSSoC-Affiliated Projects**: Look for a list of affiliated projects provided by GirlScript or GSSoC organizers. This list may include projects from different domains, making it easier for you to find projects aligned with your interests and skills.

2. Search GitHub: Use GitHub's search functionality to find projects based on specific keywords, programming languages, or topics of interest. You can use filters to refine your search and find projects that match your criteria.

3. Browse Open Source Organizations: Many organizations on GitHub maintain open-source projects and actively welcome contributions. You can explore these organizations and their repositories to find projects that interest you.

4. Explore GSSoC Participants: Check out projects submitted by other participants of GSSoC. You can find these projects on the GSSoC platform or by searching for the GSSoC tag on GitHub.

5. Contributor Opportunities: Some projects may have labels like "good first issue" or "help wanted" to indicate tasks suitable for new contributors. You can filter issues based on these labels to find projects that are beginner-friendly.

6. Project Recommendations: Ask for recommendations from peers, mentors, or community members. They may suggest projects based on your interests and expertise.

When searching for projects, consider factors such as the project's goals, contribution guidelines, codebase complexity, and community engagement. Choose projects that align with your skills and interests, and where you feel you can make meaningful contributions.
