Early Introduction and Guidance Request for GSoC 2026 (Jenkins)

Hello everyone,

I am Divyanshi, and I’m starting my journey as a contributor to Jenkins, aiming to participate in GSoC 2026.
I already have a good understanding of Java basics, and I want to start contributing regularly to Jenkins from now on.

I would appreciate help with the following:

  1. Where can I find beginner-friendly issues or tasks to start contributing immediately?

  2. Which repositories should I focus on as a new contributor?

  3. Any setup or contribution steps I should follow before picking my first issue.

I’m excited to begin contributing and learn by doing.
Thank you!
