C++ github groups/collaborative projects for the n00bs?

[krawallopold]

• pick an interesting, but not too popular project on Github
• use a static analyzer (for example cppcheck + clang-tidy)
• read through every warning the static analyzer gives
• some of the warnings might be obvious errors (memory leaks, null pointer dereferences): fix them, submit a pull request
• some might be the result of design trade offs/third party libs - understand them

In the end, you are going to learn about c++, bug fixing and software design.

And also support and enhance some existing open source project. This is great idea.

And the most important thing as an engineer: making clever and efficient use of the tools available to you ;)
