Hi Omar,<br>
<br>
You might want to narrow your scope to one part of GHC. For example,
I mostly focused on the Run Time System to be able to conduct my
master's thesis. Also, you might want to start off with a tiny goal,
like to fix bug XYZ.<br>
<br>
Oh, and most important of all is the Commentary, which I think of as
a wiki for GHC developers.

Cheers,<br>

<br>
I'm new to ghc codebase and I'm interested in stepping through
the code in order to gain a better idea of how it all works.<br>
<br>
- Is there a way to load ghc into ghci ? and debug through it ?<br>
- What are the ways experienced ghc devs step through the code ?<br>
- Any techniques you guys recommend ?<br>
- What would your advices be for a newbie to the source code ?<br>
