Hi Git community,

Hello Santiago, welcome to the Git community.

My name is Santiago Leal, a Computer Engineering student (3rd
semester) at Universidad Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho in Venezuela, and
I'm interested in participating in Google Summer of Code 2026 with
Git.

Thank you for your interest in the community.

My technical background includes:
- Languages: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Rust, C++
- Frameworks/Tools: Tauri, Node.js, Electron
- Areas: Desktop app development, scripting/automation, web fundamentals

Some relevant projects I've built:
- A cross-platform inventory desktop app using Tauri (Rust + Web frontend)
- A sales record management system in Python

I've been exploring the GSoC project ideas page and I'm excited about
contributing to such a foundational tool used by developers worldwide.
I'd appreciate guidance on:
- Which project ideas would be most suitable for a newcomer with my background
- How to set up the Git development environment
- Any recommended beginner-friendly contributions to start with

Below are a few resources to guide you in submitting your first patch and
