A guide to help you contribute to Hacktoberfest 2022 and to get you started towards Open Source Contribution 😉
Check out our Contributing Documentation Every sub repo has its own README.md file which describes the task and you can work on that particular task if you want.
- First create issue for the task which you would like to contribute to by explaining your approach in it.
- Project maintatiners will assign the issue to you if it's worthy and not repeated.
- While creating pull request mention the issue number in it.
- Your PR should make some legitimate effect on the project. Eg: adding a new feature with proper description
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's you and 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
