Hi Joey, Joey S wrote:Hi everyone, I'm Joey Salazar, an Outreachy 2020 applicant certified in CCNA and Linux+, with some experience in C for both private and open source repositories (BIND at gitlab.isc.org/Joey), community code reviews, and automated tests in bash. I'd like to contribute to the "Add Git protocol support to Wireshark" project and improve my skills, yet remain open to a different project if that'd be preferable.Welcome!I have installed and built git, followed git.github.io/General-Microproject-Information and checked the sample email thread [1], as well as the tutorial git-scm.com/docs/MyFirstContribution and created the psuh command files here [2]. After following the git.github.io/Outreachy-21-Microprojects page I'd like to work on the 'Use test_path_is_* functions in test scripts', and given that Charvi Mendiratta might be working on tests t7101,t7102 and t7201 as per this ml thread [3], I'd like to check with the group if working on tests t7006 and t7300 would be ok.I'd recommend just doing a single file. t7006 is a good one.In parallel, I'm following gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/wikis/Development as suggested through the #git-devel IRC channelYes, building wireshark and making your first modification to it would be a good next step. One possible first modification would be to teach epan/dissectors/packet-git.c about sideband. See "Packfile Data" in git's Documentation/technical/pack-protocol.txt for how sideband works. Alternatively you can run wireshark and see if anything you see bothers you and make a first contribution that improves on that. :) Happy developing.
