What is GSoC?
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is an annual program sponsored by Google that offers stipends to university students for working on open source software projects during the summer break. It provides students an opportunity to collaborate with open source organizations and gain hands-on experience in software development. GSoC aims to bridge the gap between students and the open source community, fostering innovation and contributing to various software projects.

What is Open Source?
Open source refers to software that is made available with its source code accessible to the public, allowing anyone to view, use, modify, and distribute the code. This collaborative approach encourages community participation, peer review, and contributions to improve the software. Open source software is often developed collectively and promotes transparency, innovation, and the sharing of knowledge.

Benefits of contributing to Open Source?

1. Skill Enhancement: Open source projects provide opportunities to learn and improve coding, problem-solving, and teamwork skills through real-world projects and collaboration with experienced developers.

2. Community Building: It allows you to connect with a global network of developers, mentors, and experts, fostering professional relationships and expanding your career prospects.

3. Resume Boost: Open source contributions demonstrate your practical experience, commitment, and passion for coding, making your resume more appealing to potential employers and enhancing your credibility in the tech industry.

How to perform pull request in Google Summer of Code?
To perform a pull request in GSoC or an open-source project, first, select a project aligned with your interests. Clone its repository, set up your development environment, and create a dedicated branch for your changes. Make the desired code or documentation alterations, adhering to the project’s guidelines. Commit your changes incrementally, ensuring clear messages. Test rigorously, update documentation if needed, then push your branch to your forked repository. Create a pull request on the main repository, including a descriptive title and explanation. Engage with maintainers and address their feedback. Once approved, your contribution will be merged, and you can continue contributing.
