Grab a patch from https://commitfest.postgresql.org/40/ that is simple enough,
try to apply it to Git head and see if it builds and passes the regression tests.
Then try to break it :^)
Read the code to see what the patch does.
It is best to start with a patch that touches an area of PostgreSQL that you understand well.

I use Eclipse (default on Gnome), but I guess everybody has their own preferences.

By the way, thanks for your willingness to help!
