Whether you’re new to security, new to Java, or new to tools like Git or Maven, we have a bunch of issues that are perfect for getting started on our project, no prior experience is needed. Check out our list of good first issues. Once you have selected an issue you’d like to work on, make sure it’s not already assigned to someone else.
