Question

Hello guys, since I am new to GitHub and would pretty much love to make my first contribution to this project, but being a novice programmer doesn't help and I really don't know where to start.
Most difficult thing for me is to navigate through the different directories of the project and where to look to fix some issues.
Could anyone help me achieve that by suggesting which folders to look at first and why, and give me a rough image of how the folders and scripts interact?
I know it is a very general question but I think that a starting point should be fine.
Thanks in advance.

Glad to hear of your interest. You could read #29310 (ask any related questions there).

One useful activity, that might also help in learning about the code and the processes involved, would be to go through some of the open Pull Requests, maybe from 2023, and check if

1. the code can be merged into the latest master without conflicts
2. the download tests run correctly (if not, ask the author for updated tests).
