Hi Prashant. 👋

The best place to begin is the contributing docs: [Contributing to Django | Django Documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/internals/contributing/)

If you can get set up with the test suite and building the docs, you’d be in a good place to begin.

There’s a good page with [Advice for New Contributors | Django Documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/internals/contributing/new-contributors/)

Welcome aboard! ⛵

Kind Regards,

Carlton
