问题

Contributing to a large open‑source project during a hackathon while managing merge requests, reviews, and project-specific rules.

结果

Author merged 38 MRs, closed 28 issues, learned key contributor etiquette, and avoided a large‑scale labeling mistake.

工作流

• Open issues and create MRs in smaller GitLab projects
• Read each project's CONTRIBUTING.md for commit and labeling rules
• Submit MRs and monitor review comments
• Fix review comments before opening new MRs
• Resolve own threads and close related issues
• Use contributor platform to request reviewers
• Avoid automating labeling on others’ issues
• Answer reviews and merge MRs before deadline
