#Hacktoberfest — Contribute to Open Source by Learning to Create A Github Pull Request
As a full-time #OpenSourcerer — October is one of my favorite months. And it's October already. Today's #OneDevMinute is about #Hacktoberfest — it's a month long online event where you signup at GitHub.com and Hacktoberfest to celebrate Open Source by contributing at least five times between Oct 1-31. Good folks from DigitalOcean, GitHub, and Twilio will track your open source contributions and upon five successful GitHub pull-requests — you'll receive swag items like a limited edition T-Shirt, stickers, and maybe a few discount codes.
Open source is for everyone, it's not just code — developers, designers, even marketers, and content writers can participate. Improve an open source project's documentation, refactor code, gift that project a new logo design — just participate and celebrate open source in October.
⚠️ Make sure you have Git installed.
