Hacktoberfest is open to everyone in our global community! Maintainers determine if their open-source projects participate by adding the 'hacktoberfest' topic. Quality pull requests submitted on GitHub and GitLab are rewarded. Engaged maintenance of Hacktoberfest tagged repositories are rewarded.
As a beginner, you may be nervous to participate, but fear not! There are tons of ways to participate in Hacktoberfest, no matter your experience level.
For example, you can make valid contributions to documentation for some projects. You can also search GitHub for easy projects based on the languages or technologies that you are comfortable using.
Some developers even compiled lists of their first Hacktoberfest contributions, so you can get a sense of what to search for on GitHub.
If you are completely new to Git, we recommend first taking our Guide to Git & Version Control course. You’ll learn basics of version control, how to make pull requests, and how to navigate on GitHub.
Happy Coding! 😊
