I think it's more about learning on "how to contribute".

I think no. It is to help the first time open source contributors on how to make make a pull request.

No, this is not a dummy repo. We've been building this for over 2 years now. We're trying to bring more people in to open source communities.

I appreciate your work Roshan! I have just started learning to code, and I want to find ways to get involved in open source as a tool for learning ( and help out at the same time). First_contributions has been a big help in showing me the process, and I am now looking for other simple things that I can do on here.
