HI Anastasia, Thanks for the message. I'm definitely looking to contribute longer as my hobby. I even raised my first code review even though it's a minor fix for scan build issues. Also the idea about bash auto completion sounds interesting to me and I would like to work on it.
Do you recommend to first play more with flashrom and then work on this feature? or should I get hands on directly and take my own time to figure it out?
