Event Description

Come to discover how to start contributing to Open Source software and hopefully get one pull request closer to a Hacktoberfest T-shirt!
This meetup is made especially for those who have no or little experience with contributing to Open Source. You can learn how to start and get support from our coaches.

Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open source software. Maintainers are invited to guide would-be contributors toward issues that will help move the project forward, and contributors get the opportunity to give back to both projects they like and others they've just discovered. No contribution is too small — bug fixes and documentation updates are valid ways of participating.

What do you need?
- A computer 😊
- Git installed
- GitHub account
- A code editor
- Elementary knowledge of command line/any graphical interface to use Git

Rules and Rewards

First, sign up on the Hacktoberfest site at https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com. To qualify for the official limited edition Hacktoberfest shirt, you must register and make four pull requests between October 1-31. Pull requests can be to any public repo on GitHub, not just the ones with issues labeled Hacktoberfest. If a maintainer reports your pull request as spam or spammy behavior, or not in line with the project’s code of conduct, you will be ineligible to participate.
