Good day. I'm Amanda Shafack, an Outreachy 2020 applicant who wishes to contribute to the "Add Git protocol support to Wireshark" project. I have some experience coding in C and I hope to enhance my skill set by contributing to this project. In addition, I'm fascinated by network protocols and it's really exciting to get my hands around these concepts in a real-world project. I'm currently going through the project description and contribution guidelines.Welcome. There are many helpful people on the list. It would be useful if you can point us to a protocol description document but that can wait until help is needed. It may be that all the online resources are sufficient, but if not, do not hesitate to use this list to ask questions.
There's an overview of Git's HTTP protocol in the Pro Git book: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Transfer-Protocols The official protocol spec in git.git (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git) is split between a few files: Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt: conventions for protocol docs Documentation/technical/pack-protocol.txt: overview of Git protocol Documentation/technical/protocol-capabilities.txt: optional capabilities Documentation/technical/protocol-v2: protocol v2, the new default (more about this is at https://opensource.googleblog.com/2018/05/introducing-git-protocol-version-2.html) Documentation/technical/http-protocol.txt: how this works with http Documentation/technical/pack-format.txt: packed representation of Git objects (used both on disk and over the wire) Amanda, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask (#git-devel on IRC is the best place for that, and email works as well). I am there around 15:00-24:00 UTC most days. In addition to working on your initial starter contributions, we can start to put together a plan for the project. Richard, to set expectations: the internship period for accepted interns starts in December: https://www.outreachy.org/apply/project-selection/. Until then, potential interns are often not free full time, so we focus on smaller contributions that help get their feet wet in the codebase. Excited, Jonathan ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
