• Go through the Project Walkthrough video to learn about the project structure and how you can setup, run & test the project locally.
• Go through the Developer docs.

• Go through the existing “Good First Issue” to pick up an issue or raise a new issue and start interacting with the mentors to discuss your approach & how you can work on the issue. The objective is to help you get familiar with the project and the process of raising & working on a PR for API Dash.
