I am new to the community and would like to contribute and help along. I
did a complete read up on how the Tor browser works, but I would like to
delve in more and get acquainted with the code base, so that I understand
and learn a lot in the process.

I already cloned and built the Tor(core) and TorBrowser from source for
easy understanding and primarily as it would help me to reproduce bugs as I
work on them.

Any further guidance is appreciated.

Thankyou for spending the time to read this through.

Hi Aruna,

You could have a look at these spec files if you haven't already

Hey!

Thanks for the spec files. But why and what do they exactly do? Are they
somewhat like a documentation of everything?

Yes somewhat. They can provide you an overall idea, but the best
documentation is the code itself.
