🎃 HacktoberFest Starter Project 2018 🎃

Use this project to make your first contribution to an open source project on GitHub. Practice making your first pull request to a public repository before doing the real thing!

Celebrate Hacktoberfest by getting involved in the open source community by completing some simple tasks in this project. You can easily win a T-Shirt just by making 5 pull requests in the month of October to any open source projects on Github.

This repository is open to all members of the GitHub community. Any member may contribute to this project without being a collaborator.

What is Hacktoberfest?

Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open source software run by DigitalOcean in partnership with GitHub and Twilio.

• Hacktoberfest is open to everyone in our global community!
• Five quality pull requests must be submitted to public GitHub repositories.
• You can sign up anytime between October 1 and October 31.

How do I get started?

Register at https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/ Submit a PR to any public GitHub repository. Quality contributions are encouraged! You can look for open issues labeled "Hacktoberfest" for inspiration.

Maintaining a repo?

Create issues labeled or label existing ones “Hacktoberfest” on your GitHub projects to help new contributors know what to work on. Tag any spam or irrelevant PRs with the "invalid" label to disqualify them.

How do I track my progress?

Log in with your GitHub account at https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/ to check your progress and stats.

I completed 5 PRs. When will I receive my t-shirt?

We will start sending out emails with more details on redeeming t-shirts throughout the month. Stay tuned!

How do I get stickers?

Stickers are included with your t-shirt, once you complete 5 PRs.

What happens if I complete fewer than 5 PRs by the end of the month?

Unfortunately you will have to submit at least 5 PRs in order to get a T-shirt.
