This is going to depend on the project in question, but I've noticed that some have either a designated location to ask questions and work with a more experienced developer or a discord/slack to get up to speed.
DEV's Twitch streams walking through the code base are the next step up from this (and I hope more Open source projects can start doing this in the future!)
I've never contributed to open source projects, so I wouldn't be able to give advice.
However, if your a beginner to open source
Here's a repository on Github that has a list of open source projects for beginner, categorised by programming languages: github.com/MunGell/awesome-for-beg...
I have a question. How can we get started with a open source project with a large codebase?

I really didn't knew about the Twitch thing. I am surely going to follow devs on Twitch. Thanks for replying.

Also Hacktober is a great way to start getting involved in open source: hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/
