Hi Jan, any help is welcome and it doesn't matter how much you already know but more how much motiviation you have to learn. The easiest way to start is normally - to create a fork ("copy" via git) of our repository in Github - install the dev environment (IDE like pycharm community edition, dev tools, dependencies etc.) and follow the BiT (Back in Time) setup instructions (https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/blob/dev/CONTRIBUTING.md) to be able to "compile" ("make") and start the unit tests. Whatever you observe during this phase (missing documentation, unclear steps, problems) you could discuss here in the email or open a new issue at Github. You can also contribute by editing existing markdown pages or adding new ones in your fork and contributing them via a Github pull request (we can support you until you are fluent with this workflow). Once your dev environment is up and running we can try to find bugs/issues that are suitable for newcomers. The good thing is: You don't have to create a lot of new code but modify/extend existing code and learn this way how good (or not so good ;-) code looks alike and how to solve typical technical issues. So again: Welcome and good start! Best regards Jurgen PS: There is no pressure from our side to invest much time (it is up to you to find the right balance). And you can't destroy nothing: We do peer reviews on our pull requests (also a good chance to learn :-) On Wed, 2023-08-09 at 07:46 +0000, jnk.gregorczyk@gmail.com wrote:
1) I'm not a user of Back In Time. I'm also not a user of rsynch.
2) I have had an internship as Test Engineer with Python. In practice that was writing unit tests for Django API in pytest. It lasted for about 5 months. I think I know Python pretty well, but I'm still rather slow when coding. I'm an Engineer of Computer Science. This is some example of my code: https://github.com/yanazPL/TetrisVS
3) I have used git.
4) I could do some translating to Polish if needed.
Let me know if you have more questions. _______________________________________________ Bit-dev mailing list -- bit-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to bit-dev-leave@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/bit-dev.python.org/ Member address: python@altfeld-im.de
