Good First Issue

Definitions

1. A commonly used label for issues that are intentionally approachable for new contributors, usually with clear scope, manageable complexity, and enough context to be actionable. It is one of the most standard onboarding signals in open source repositories.

   In plain English: A beginner-friendly issue label meant to help new contributors get started.

   Example: "The maintainers added a few good first issue tags so newcomers had a realistic place to start."
