Welcome to the ultimate Hacktoberfest repository! 🚀 This is your gateway to open-source contribution, perfect for beginners making their first pull request and experienced developers alike.
Hacktoberfest is DigitalOcean's annual event that encourages people to contribute to open source throughout October. Participants aim to submit 6 high-quality pull/merge requests between October 1 and October 31, with project maintainers accepting your pull/merge requests for them to count toward your total.
✅ Help beginners make their first contribution
✅ Provide multiple ways to participate (code, profiles, documentation)
✅ Create a welcoming community for all skill levels
✅ Support meaningful open-source contributions
Participants unlock a digital badge when they register for Hacktoberfest, and level it up with each of their 6 pull/merge requests accepted during Hacktoberfest. An exclusive Hacktoberfest T-Shirt is available for 'Super Contributors' who contribute 6 accepted PR/MRs to a worthy repository (Valid only for the first 10,000 contributors completing 6 PR/MR).
