How Can a New Swift Developer Start Contributing to Swift Package Manager?

[manu_r]

Hi everyone! I’m kind of new to the Swift community, but ever since I started learning it, I’ve really enjoyed it and developed a love for the language. Now, I’d like to contribute my best efforts to the community. I’m particularly interested in getting started with the Swift Package Manager. Could anyone guide me on how to begin contributing or suggest resources that might be helpful? Thanks in advance!

I’m particularly interested in getting started with the Swift Package Manager. Could anyone guide me on how to begin contributing or suggest resources that might be helpful?

A few first steps would be:

1. Read the CONTRIBUTING.md guide to contributing in the swift-package-manager repository.

   It contains instructions and information about setting up your local environment and making pull requests to the project.

2. Look through the issues in the swift-package-manager repository with the label good first issue.

3. Once you find an issue you are interested in, if you need additional guidance, you can post questions in a new thread here in the discussions or in the issue itself. If you post here in the forums, include a link to the GitHub issue.
