Hello everyone,

I am Sneha Chauhan, a 3rd year student in AIML from NIT Kurukshetra, India. I have good knowledge of Java and web development.

I’ve recently started exploring the Jenkins codebase and I’m particularly interested in **Jenkins plugin development**. I’m completely new to **open-source contributions** and Jenkins plugins, but I’m highly motivated to learn, follow best practices, and contribute meaningfully.  
I would really appreciate any **guidance on getting started**. Looking forward to learning from the community .
