🎃 HacktoberFest-2022 🎃

Opensource PR hacktoberfest friendly

What is HacktoberFest?

Hacktoberfest is a month long event where people are awarded for contributing to open source projects 🙌, and we're joining the party .Hosted by DigitalOcean for the 8th year in a row, Hacktoberfest encourages participation in giving back to the open source community by completing pull requests, participating in events, and donating to open source projects.

More details

Hacktoberfest is open to everyone in our global community. Whether youre a seasoned contributor or looking for projects to contribute to for the first time, youre welcome to participate.

Pull requests can be made in any participating GitHub or GitLab hosted repository/project. Look for the 'hacktoberfest' topic to know if a repository/project is participating in Hacktoberfest. Pull requests must be approved by a maintainer of the repository/project to count.

You can sign up anytime between October 1 and October 31. Just be sure to sign up on the official Hacktoberfest website for your pull requests to count.

Rules for participation

  • Pull requests can be submitted to any opted-in repository on GitHub or GitLab.
  • The pull request must contain commits you made yourself.
  • If a maintainer reports your pull request as spam, it will not be counted toward your participation in Hacktoberfest.
  • If a maintainer reports behavior thats not in line with the projects code of conduct, you will be ineligible to participate.
  • To get a shirt, you must make four approved pull requests (PRs) on opted-in projects between October 1-31 in any time zone.
  • This year, the first 55,000 participants can earn a T-shirt.

Quality Guidelines

  • Pull requests that are automated e.g. scripted opening pull requests to remove whitespace / fix typos / optimize images.
  • Pull requests that are disruptive e.g. taking someone else's branch/commits and making a pull request.
  • Pull requests that are regarded by a project maintainer as a hindrance vs. helping.
  • Something that's clearly an attempt to simply +1 your pull request count for October.
  • Last but not least, one pull request to fix a typo is fine, but 5 pull requests to remove a stray whitespace is not.

Note

A pull request is considered approved once it has an overall approving review from maintainers, or has been merged by maintainers, or has been given the 'hacktoberfest-accepted' label. A pull request with any label containing the word 'spam' or 'invalid' will be considered ineligible for Hacktoberfest.
