I'd downvote this post if I could. It's pushing people into OSS contributions only to land jobs. My advice: if you don't subconsciously feel like you want to contribute, don't do it. As to how to start, pick a small bug, typo, lacking documentation aspect, small missing feature or performance issue that annoys you in your everyday FOSS software and solve it.

It's a good start but it's a shame they are limiting file types at all. We have been using GitLab which has allowed this for a while and we use it to share webm files which unfortunately still appear to be blacklisted by github.

Why use "blacklisted" here? Why not just say not allowed...

"Sign in to X with Y" is a terrible idea all around. Even if X does not get access your Y account, Y definitely has access to your account in X.

Yes and I’d assume such a user is already using a browser built by Y ;)
