Hi @Shraddha and welcome to this community 👋

Shamelessly quoting @julieheard :

> Here are a few links that hopefully will be useful to you:

> - [jenkins/CONTRIBUTING.md at 03c380f6c451a1a05e3b0a8471f3aa06a24c3baa · \> jenkinsci/jenkins · GitHub](https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/03c380f6c451a1a05e3b0a8471f3aa06a24c3baa/CONTRIBUTING.md) - This is more detail on how to contribute, a bit more technical than the previous link

> So I would read through those websites, then take a look at the issues Jira. When you have picked a task to work on, make a PR and wait for feedback/approvals.

> Good luck and reach out if you get stuck/have more questions 🙂
