What is Hacktoberfest?

Hacktoberfest, in its 8th year, is a month-long celebration of open source software run by DigitalOcean. During the month of October, we invite you to join open-source software enthusiasts, beginners, and the developer community by contributing to open-source projects

what we have to do in order to win goodies?

You have to do is contribute to any open source projects and open at least 4 pull requests

What is a pull request?

Pull requests are proposed code changes you can submit to a branch in a repository on GitHub/GitLab. Once submitted, a project maintainer will review and discuss the changes before they become final.

What is considered a valid pull request?

A valid pull request is one that is accepted by the maintainer of the project you submit it to. 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. The pull request must contain commits you made yourself.

Do I get a prize for participating ?

Aside from the knowledge you’ll gain, (and the fun you’ll have), you can earn a limited-edition Hacktoberfest t-shirt and some cool stickers.
