A guide to help you contribute to Hacktoberfest 2020 and to get you started towards Open Source Contribution 😉

Check out our Contributing Documentation

The first step is to register yourself on the Hacktoberfest website using your Github account and sign up as a student.

Find the open source repositories which interest and go try to pick up issues which you can solve.If you don't find one and think you can improve the codebase create a issue stating the problem you want to solve using the proper guidelines. Once the issue is assigned to you, code away till you resolve the issue 🤓 . Once you are done with the coding create a pull request by following the proper CONTRIBUTING.md file given in the repository. If the repository doesn't have one, make a pull request following the accepted rules in the open source community 🤗

You have to make 4 pull requests on any valid repositories. Once you make the pull request, there is a review period of two weeks. PLEASE MAKE QUALITY PULL REQUESTS AND NOT SPAM 😡 If you make spam pull requests your pull request will be deemed invalid/spam and you will be unelligible to win swag

Make 4 valid Pull requests in the month of October to be elligible for a limited edition T-shirt or plant a tree 😇. The first 70,000 winners are elligible for the prizes
