As a contributor first of all you have to select a project to work on you can check Projects here.
After selecting the project you need to contribute to it.

How will you do it?
Once your request for an issue is accepted in GSSoC or any open-source project, here are the next steps you should follow:

Understand the Issue: Take some time to fully understand the issue you've been assigned. Make sure you understand the problem, what needs to be done to fix it, and any requirements or constraints.

Fork the Repository: If you haven't already, fork the repository of the project you're contributing to. This creates a copy of the repository in your GitHub account where you can make changes.

Clone Your Fork: Clone your forked repository to your local machine using Git. This allows you to work on the code locally.

git clone https://github.com/your-username/repository-name.git

Create a New Branch: Create a new branch for your changes. This helps keep your changes isolated from the main branch and makes it easier to manage multiple contributions.

git checkout -b your-branch-name

Work on the Issue: Start working on the issue by making the necessary changes to the codebase. Follow best practices for coding, documentation, and testing as applicable.

Commit Your Changes: Once you've made your changes, commit them to your local repository with descriptive commit messages.

git add .
git commit -m "Your commit message"

Push Your Changes: Push your changes to your forked repository on GitHub.

git push origin your-branch-name

Create a Pull Request: Go to the GitHub page of your forked repository and create a pull request (PR) to merge your changes into the main repository. Provide a clear description of your changes in the PR.

Wait for Review: Wait for the project maintainers to review your pull request. They may provide feedback, ask for changes, or approve your changes and merge them into the main branch.

Address Feedback: If the maintainers request changes, address them by making additional commits to your branch and pushing the changes to your forked repository.

Remember to follow the project's contribution guidelines and any specific instructions provided by the maintainers. Communication is key, so don't hesitate to ask questions if you need clarification on anything.

If you're having trouble finding projects on the GSSoC website, there are a few other places you can look for projects to contribute to:

1. GitHub Explore: GitHub has a feature called "Explore" where you can find trending repositories, projects based on topics, and repositories recommended for you. You can filter by programming language, topics, and more.

2. Open Source Platforms: Explore other open-source platforms like GitLab, Bitbucket, or SourceForge. These platforms host a wide range of open-source projects where you can find something that interests you.

3. Hackathons and Coding Events: Keep an eye out for hackathons or coding events hosted by various organizations or communities. They often have projects that need contributors.

4. Community Forums and Groups: Join developer communities, forums, and groups on platforms like Discord, Slack, Reddit, or LinkedIn. Sometimes, developers post about their projects or seek contributors in these communities.

5. Tech Blogs and Websites: Check tech blogs, websites, or newsletters that highlight interesting open-source projects or provide lists of projects looking for contributors.

6. Personal Networks: Reach out to friends, classmates, or colleagues who might be working on open-source projects or know of projects that need contributors.

How to choose projects?
In GSSoC, there are hundreds of projects to choose from. You are free to work on any project but I would suggest you start with a project which is based on your tech stack or tech which you are intrigued to learn.

Suppose you want to learn web development and know the basics of HTML, CSS and JavaScript, then you should contribute to projects based on it. This will make you feel confident and you'll feel motivated to work on that project as soon as possible. Later, you can continue to explore different projects based on your inclination.

Step 1. On the official website of GSSoC, click on the project section.
https://gssoc.girlscript.tech/project

Step 2. Choose any project that matches your tech stack or in which you are interested.

Step 3. Click on project details to get the project video as well as the GitHub repository's link.

Pro Tip- Don't just stick to one project. Try contributing to at least 3-4 projects. This will give you the experience of how different organisations work, and what are their rules and code of conduct. It will be beneficial for you when working in a professional environment.

Step 1. Identify Your Interests: What topics or areas of technology are you passionate about? Whether it's web development, machine learning, mobile apps, or something else entirely, starting with what interests you will keep you motivated. Head over to the GirlScript website and navigate to the projects section. Take your time to browse through the projects listed under your chosen category. Read project descriptions and requirements to see if they align with your skills and interests.

Step 2. Look for repositories tagged with labels like "beginner-friendly" or "good first issue" or "Level 1". These projects often have tasks specifically tailored for newcomers.

Step 3. It is important to go through README.md file in the repository. Start Small: Don't feel pressured to tackle a massive project right away. Begin with small, manageable tasks like fixing typos in documentation, adding comments to code, or implementing simple features. This will help you get familiar with the project's codebase and development workflow.

Step 4. Learn Git and Github. or you can also refer this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9PYaPZgikg&t=5s
or git-cheat-sheet-education : https://education.github.com/git-cheat-sheet-education.pdf

Most Important Step :
Learn from Others: Don't hesitate to reach out to more experienced developers for guidance and mentorship. Online communities like Stack Overflow, Reddit, and Discord are great places to ask questions and learn from others' experiences.

Stay Consistent and Patient: Learning to code and contributing to projects takes time and perseverance. Don't get discouraged by setbacks or challenges—every obstacle is an opportunity to learn and grow. Stay consistent with your efforts, and you'll gradually see improvement.

Remember, the journey of finding and contributing to projects is as valuable as the end result. Enjoy the process, keep learning, and have fun coding!
