Lab: Submitting your first patch to an open-source NF

Lab Scenario: Walking Through a Small Open5GS Fix

In this lab you will walk through the workflow of contributing a small fix to Open5GS — say, correcting a log message that misreports a timer value, or adding a missing error code mapping. The exercise is on paper rather than executable, but it captures every step a real first contribution involves: finding the issue, forking, branching, identifying the relevant source file, making the change, testing locally, writing the commit message, opening the PR, responding to review, and seeing it merged. The technical change matters less than understanding the rhythm of OSS contribution.
