How to improve my contribution graph?

[faridnec]

GitHub contribution graph is a representation of your activity over time. It includes your commits, pull requests, issues, and other contributions to repositories. Improving your contribution graph involves actively participating in open-source projects or your own repositories.

I can probably share some keywords of contributions; regular commits, contribute to open-source projects, fork repositories and contribute improvements, actively create and manage issues in your repositories, contribute to documentation, open pull requests even for your own projects, participate in discussions (provide accepted answer) on GitHub issues and pull requests, etc.

Thanks for posting in the GitHub Community, @mohanjain131 ! We're happy you're here. You are more likely to get a useful response if you are posting your question in the applicable category, the Discussions category is solely related to conversations around the GitHub product Discussions. I've gone ahead and moved it for you. Good luck!

Hey @mohanjain131, welcome to the community, and to GitHub! I would suggest finding a project that you're interested in and would like to start contributing towards. That could be logging issues for feature requests or bug reports, making documentation updates or code contributions.

You could use GitHub search to find repositories which have GitHub Issues tracked with the good-first-issue label, a common convention to help folks start contributing into the community.

Alternatively, there are some blog posts on ways to contribute which may be of interest:

• For Good First Issue: Introducing a new way to contribute
• Browse good first issues to start contributing to open source
