look for a program to do something you need, land on the github page, either learn the language or keep looking until you find one you know

Make your own bullshit. Seriously. Alternatively, there are thousands of github projects that solely consist of shell scripts with a basic UI written in some other language to cobble all the scripts together into a point'n'click hub. Just search under the tags bash, shellscript, applescript, powershell, etc... you'll be contributing to shit in no time.

Pretty much this.

1. use open source software
2. find something in that software that is lacking or wrong
3. fix it yourself and submit a PR

It's that simple.

Why the fuck are wh*toids so ugly?

She's hispanic dummy

And you have a bland taste of asian women

was in the same boat as you.
my suggestion, start with an interest of yours.
the language, framework tech stack none of those things matter. u learn those while you are reading the code. makes learning 10x fun. (wouldn't recommend this to a total noob). by the time u understand the codebase, u kind of get what the project is, what the scope is , where it is headed, are improvements needed etc. at this time u have two options
> introduce a new feature in a branch and ask for a merge(risky)
>ask the dude who maintains what he needs (you should have tons of meaningful questions to ask, if you read the codebase and understand it)
I personally like playing card games, and found a obscure library using jQuery to render cards. no docs, took my Dumas 1 week to read through it. learned alot about oop JS and query, was so much fun. will do a similar project in the future.

Not OP but I want to contribute to a project adding some feature but the problem is that my code would be of worse quality since the project owner has his own way to do it and my code would be shitty compared to his if he were to add that feature. Should I just not contribute or?

everybody starts out as garbage.
never be shy of submitting shit code, ask for what improvements can be done after the fact.
keep what you learn, for the next time. you won't write quality code waking up one day. it is a process.

try sending it, if he says it's shit, ask how you can fix it. he'll give you pointers to some of his code you can look, or tell you what to read maybe. he could just say no if he's really busy but you need to try it dude
