Ship real code.Get proof.

Any developer who wants real open source experience with guidance. Bootcamp grads building a track record, self-taught developers seeking validation, or mid-career engineers pivoting into new stacks.

Comfortable writing code in at least one language. No prior open source experience required. Your mentor will help you navigate the project, tooling, and contribution workflow.

Real open source projects maintained by active developers. Projects span web frameworks, developer tools, libraries, and more. You work on meaningful issues, not contrived exercises.

Typically 4 to 8 weeks depending on project scope and your availability. You set the pace with your mentor.

Most apprenticeships require 5 to 10 hours per week. You and your mentor agree on a schedule that fits your availability.

Yes. Devprentice is completely free for developers during the beta period. No credit card, no hidden fees. Sign up and start your apprenticeship at zero cost.

You create a profile with your skills and goals. Our matching pairs you with a project and mentor. Once matched, your mentor sets milestones and you start contributing through pull requests.

Verifiable credentials tied to your merged PRs, production code review experience, a portfolio of real contributions on GitHub, and a mentor reference.

Structure, mentorship, and accountability. Contributing solo means guessing which issues to pick, getting ignored on PRs, and having nothing to show for it. Devprentice gives you a dedicated mentor, structured milestones, guaranteed reviews, and verifiable credentials when you finish.
