[GSoC] Applicant Introduction and Microproject Selection

[GSoC] Applicant Introduction and Microproject Selection

[Labnan Khalid Masum]

Hello Everyone,

I am Khalid Masum Labnan, An undergraduate at Islamic University of
Technology, Bangladesh, Currently majoring in Software Engineering. I
would like to get involved in Git development as I want to be part of
this community and would like to use GSoC as the starting point.

I would like to submit a patch on the microproject "Use test_path_is_*
functions in test scripts", by changing test t3501, if it is
available.

Regards,
Labnan

Absolutely! I'm not sure how much progress you've made on your patch, but
here are some resources you might find helpful:

- This particular microproject has been around for a while (at least since
  2019 [1]), so there are some past submissions of changes to other test
  files that might serve as a good reference ([2], [3]).
- If you need information on getting started (or even just how to submit
  your completed patch), you might want to take a look at the
  MyFirstContribution guide [4] - it's a really nice guide for getting set
  up for Git development.

Looking forward to your first submission!
-Victoria
