Did you look at the issue tracker? Choose the "Easy Pickings" Tickets from there that will help you get familiar with django but before writing any actual code or documentation you must know what's going on in here if you don't then freecodecamp django video will help you understand how django is used, moreover, go and look at the video "Django in depth" by James Bennett which was made to help you understand how Django internally works. Once you complete all this then you would have enough knowledge to pick any "Ticket" and start contributing.

Thanks!

Welcome!

There are many different ways to contribute to Django - the forum, blogging, translating, documenting, writing code, and more. Our Contributing Guide can help you get started with many of these: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/

If you’re looking to work with the code base (for documentation or code), check out the “Advice for New Contributors” section: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/new-contributors/ . Then see if you can work through the “Writing Your First Patch” tutorial: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/intro/contributing/ .

If you get stuck or have questions, post back here or in the “Mentorship” section on the forum: https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/internals/mentorship/10

Hope that helps,

Adam
