Start contributing to Tor

I am new to the community and would like to contribute and help along. I did a complete read up on how the Tor browser works, but I would like to delve in more and get acquainted with the code base, so that I understand and learn a lot in the process. I already cloned and built the Tor(core) and TorBrowser from source for easy understanding and primarily as it would help me to reproduce bugs as I work on them. Any further guidance is appreciated. Thankyou for spending the time to read this through. -- Regards, Aruna Maurya, CSE,B.tech, Blog <https://themindreserves.wordpress.com/> | Medium <https://medium.com/@arunamaurya>

Hi Aruna, You could have a look at these spec files if you haven't already https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/ Regards, Jaskaran On Mon, Dec 4, 2017 at 12:23 PM, Aruna Maurya <aruna.maurya12@gmail.com> wrote:

Hey! Thanks for the spec files. But why and what do they exactly do? Are they somewhat like a documentation of everything? On Mon, Dec 4, 2017 at 12:54 PM, Jaskaran Singh <jvsg1303@gmail.com> wrote:

Yes somewhat. They can provide you an overall idea, but the best documentation is the code itself. On Mon, Dec 4, 2017 at 1:05 PM, Aruna Maurya <aruna.maurya12@gmail.com> wrote:
