What is FirstPR?
FirstPR is a free, open-source web app that helps developers land their first open-source pull request. Match finds open, unassigned good-first issues on public GitHub repos. Explain points to the real files an issue touches. Review scores your pull request against the issue and CONTRIBUTING.md. It never writes the fix for you.
Step 1
Match
Enter a GitHub username. We pick an open good first issue nobody claimed.
Step 2
Explain
Plain English, real files and lines — hints in three levels, never the fix.
Step 3
Review
Paste your PR or diff. We score it against the issue and CONTRIBUTING.md.
Fresh good first issues
How a first PR goes
Match reads a GitHub username and optional repo, then lists open good-first issues with no assignee. The public example used on this site is nishal21/NekoDroid.
Open matchWhat FirstPR will never do
- Write your code, a commit message, or a patch.
- Open, push, or merge a pull request for you.
- Replace the maintainer’s review.
