Hi Nermal,
You don't mention which is your primary OS. If it's Windows then head to
https://gitforwindows.org/#contribute to get the full SDK that supports
developing Git while on a Windows machine, along with their
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/FAQ.

You can arrange that you have both the latest release, _and_ your latest
dev contribution, so you can compare results and avoid (mostly) total
corruption of of your local copy... ;-)
The main source of info is the main git repo's README.md,
Documentation/SubmittingPatches, Documentation/CodingGuidelines,
Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt.
The Git mailing list g...@vger.kernel.org (read the bit about `majordomo`
for joining the list).
The list archives are at https://lore.kernel.org/git/ and
https://public-inbox.org/git/
Search for GSOC, and Mentoring
Also have a look back through the git-users archive for previous
responses to similar requests.
Hope that helps,
Philip

Hi, I'm Nirmal Khedkar, student from India.
I wish to be a long-term contributer for Git and am a GSoC 2020
aspirant too. I'd love to contribute to Git because I love it and (in
my view), its the mother of all FOSS projects out there, because most
of them are built using Git.
I wanted to know whether the changes I make within the git/git repo
<https://github.com/git/git> (which I've cloned onto my system) will
also affect Git in my system overall.
I'm generally not reckless, but since Git is the backbone to all my
projects, I cant help but be concerned about this :)
Thank you (and apologies if this is the wrong place to post such doubt).
