Hello everyone,  
I am Dhruv, a third year Computer Engineering undergrad from Mumbai, India. I am a data science and Machine learning enthusiast. I am interested in contributing to MNE (I am aware of python and C++) but am very new to Open Source. I have tried and built MNE development environment using the [docs](https://mne.tools/dev/install/contributing.html#setting-up-your-local-development-environment).  
Now , Can anyone tell me or provide me with the resources of how to

1. Understand the large codebase of MNE
2. Which parts of the [tutorials](https://mne.tools/stable/auto_tutorials/index.html) are essential to understand MNE and how to use the same (as the tutorials are a bit lengthy).
3. Provide an issue (beginner friendly) so that I can get started.

I know that the doubt is silly and trivial. Apologies for the same and Thanks in advance ☺.
