How can I efficiently manage and contribute to multiple open-source repositories as a beginner in open-source development?

Answered by MSSohan

Start with 1–2 active repositories that have good docs and beginner-friendly issues.
Use a consistent Git workflow (fork → feature branch → small PRs).
Keep PRs small and focused—one change per PR.
Communicate early on issues and PRs to avoid wasted effort.
Track your work to reduce context switching.
Prioritize learning and consistency over the number of contributions.
