New to the project

[Ayush Anand]

Hello everyone, myself Ayush and I want to contribute to  this project.I know java, python and will start learning javascript soon(currently on css). How should I get started on the project?

[Yash Joshi]

Hello Ayush,
I am myself a newbie when it comes to contributing to this org.
You can start by first building the chromium on your local machine by following the steps here. Chromium Docs - Get the code: check out, build, and run Chromium. (googlesource.com)
Then go through the starter bugs here and find what interests you here.  Issues (chromium.org)
You can read some helpful points by phistucK here https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-discuss/c/xV0Q49VcLnM/m/pHmUN0i1CwAJ

This was the process that I followed in the past few days. If you have any doubts, ping in this group once again :)
Would appreciate it if fellow community members could fill in the gaps and provide any additional guidance that I may have missed.

Regards,
Yash Joshi

i have tried removing every thing doing all the process again but same things happen again again

  can some one help me with this

[PhistucK]

I would not recommend downloading and building Chromium in such a long working path (C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\CHROMA\chromium), as Windows has issues with long file paths.

I would try something like c:\chromium instead.

And chromium-dev is better for build issues.
