A developer wants to contribute to an open-source project on GitHub. What is the first step they should take after finding the project's repository?

  • Clone the repository
  • Fork the repository
  • Create a new branch
  • Submit a pull request
After finding the project's repository, the first step is to fork it. Forking creates a personal copy of the repository where the developer can make changes without affecting the original project. Cloning is an option but is not the first step when contributing to open source. Creating a new branch is typically done after forking, and submitting a pull request comes later in the process.
