In October, normies look forward to Halloween🎃 but legendary geeks look forward to Hacktoberfest 👨💻👩💻
DSC UIET, in collaboration with PClub and DSC Chitkara University, is here to make your Hacktoberfest a blast.
About Hacktoberfest
Hacktoberfest is open to everyone in the global community. Whether you’re a developer, student learning to code, event host, or a company of any size, you can help drive growth of open source and make positive contributions to an ever-growing community. All backgrounds and skill levels are encouraged to complete the challenge.
Rules
Pull requests can be made in any GitHub-hosted repositories/projects.
You can sign up here anytime between October 1 and October 31.
About Pull Requests and Prizes
To earn your Hacktoberfest tee or tree reward, you must register and make four valid pull requests (PRs) between October 1-31 (in any time zone). PRs can be made to any public repo on GitHub, not only the ones with issues labeled Hacktoberfest. This year, the first 70,000 participants who successfully complete the challenge will be eligible to receive a prize.

We are an open community of geeks who help each other learn new technologies, in a peer-to-peer learning environment. We believe that every student can become a developer and use their newfound knowledge to make an impact on their society. To help students bridge the gap between theory and practice, we host workshops, meetups, and informative sessions every now and then.
