Free and open source

Your next good first issue is waiting.

Open Source Guru emails you when issues you can help with appear in the open-source projects you care about. No more refreshing issue pages.

How it works

Three steps, then it runs on its own

  1. 1

    Follow a repository

    Pick the projects you'd like to help and the labels that fit you, like help wanted or good first issue.

  2. 2

    We watch GitHub

    Every couple of minutes we check for new issues with those labels, and labels added to existing ones.

  3. 3

    You get an email

    Right away, or as an hourly or daily digest. Each email shows whether the issue is already taken.
