I'm a solo developer and always have been, but I've been learning lately about the possibilities of source control and project collaboration. I would really like to learn how to work with large groups of developers (say on github). I think it would be an amazing learnin开发者_JS百科g experience, but up till now I have always been the only developer on a given project. Are there any recourses for learning how to work on small portions of a project to get bits done? Books? Examples? I know I have to start somewhere, but I'm not sure how. Thanks.

Join an open source project.

Find something on GitHub or another large open source project repository using a language you like and/or a project that fires your imagination.

Read the wiki/mailing lists and find out how to contribute.

In this case, the best way to learn is to do.
