First, identify a community or project to contribute to and follow the rules often provided on the docs "How to Contribute" then identify an issue you're able to contribute to and request to be assigned to it. Most projects require that you fork their project repository in order for you to create a pull request and request for review after you have made changes. To set-up project locally you:-
// forked repository
$ git clone (https-or-ssh_key:link-to-the-forked-repository)
$ git checkout -b branch-name
$ git remote add upstream link-to-the-main repo
$ git pull upstream master
$ git commit -m "commit message"
