One concrete example how a script was converted can be seen here:

https://github.com/git/git/compare/b7786bb4b09%5E...b7786bb4b09%5E2

(This is the patch series that replaced the scripted version of the
`difftool` by the one written in portable C.)

But maybe you want to look at the micro-projects first, to see how you
like to work on Git's source code, and with the Git mailing list?

Ciao,
Johannes
