I'm really happy with my first completed hacktoberfest 😊
PS: It's also my first time contributing to OSS projects 🤙
Really? I've been dying to contribute on GitHub, but I can't seem to find anything for my basic-intermediate HTML and CSS skills. How did you contribute?
You can check all HTML related issues for hacktoberfest here.
For CSS, you can check it here.
Hope that I can help on your first HTML and CSS contrib :)
beginner-friendlytag or look for something interesting that suits on my experienceThanks for the advice, I actually contributed to some stuff, yay!
nil :)
I've either been doing homework, reading my backlog of articles here, or tinkering on Gitlab, which is not Github PRs. And they say to do a bunch of different stuff, rather than making minor tweaks of the same variety, so I'm probably going to have to bow out of it this month to focus on other stuff.
Just curious if Gitlab also has some sort of Hacktoberfest program? 🤔
Not that I'm aware of :( They don't have as big of a community aspect like Github. They try, but it doesn't stick. The big appeal there is the CI integrations and free private repos.
I have a bunch of my projects open-sourced, so admittedly it was pretty easy for me to get 5 PRs in. My next step, though, is setting up one of those projects such that other people can contribute to it easily, since it’s now at MVP status.
Or you could contribute to github.com/firstcontributions/firs... and/or spread the word :)
11/5 but it's more like 4/5 as
8 Contributions to thechangelog/show-notesis more like 1 PR...But the learning experience has been wonderful so far
I did some show notes for the Change Log too! I'd like to do more maybe next week, but yeah, not exactly difficult. But, it was my first PR ever and was a great intro.
I'm not proficient enough in any language to really work on meaningful issues. But I found a great project to help on. Basically, I'm doing really repetitive and boring data cleaning of election results - getting data from PDFs and convoluted .xls into .csv's. But, since I have an interest in software engineering, data, and the media, I see it as a Mr. Miyagi type of exercise. I'm being exposed to all sorts of problems developers could face with public datasets. So, overall, 👍
Wow, 🤩 you really went the extra miles and added timestamps as well👍.
I do agree with you that it was a good first PR to make as it helps to focus on OSS contribution process instead of worry about how code should work & formatted, etc.
I am sure you will be an automation ninja and find a lazy way to accomplish it 😉.
And I hope you can share the process as you learn along 😄.
I am so looking forward to learning all the lazy ways to extract data. I need more python right now, but soon - very soon - I'm excited to learn about scraping!
Very well. I've done 5 PR in the first 5 days of October and I'm still searching new issue to solve.
My idea is to use this challenge to do PR to not my repositories but contribute (even if it is the smallest one) to other projects.
I've admit that some of the PR that I've done is a very simple fix on some telegam bot (probably a bot done during a course , they are similar) but the war to get some issue is very intense when you're looking only on external projects :).
I made total 3 PR till now. All of them are like answering a particular topic and Improving CONTRIBUTING.md file etc. I am hoping i can find a good issue in which i can write some actually good code. But anyway those were my first PR, so i am quite happy. At first I was kind a afraid of what if I don't write and good answer, What if some things are incorrect. But everyone is so helpful and I am enjoying it.
You can look for TheAlgorithms/Java.
I kind of forgot JAVA. I used it back in college but now it's all about JavaScript. :)
So, I am looking for JavaScript Projects.
This my situation exactly, used Java a lot in college but I'm personally more into JS. That's where is at.
It is a month long event hosted by GitHub and DigitalOcean, to encourage people to contribute to open source software.
It starts every year on October and you can participate till the end of the October. If you successfully make 5 pull requests on any GitHub public project, you will get a hacktoberfest t shirt when this event ends.
You can learn more on their site
Haven't made much progress so far, I've been trying to identify projects that would be good targets for me for Hacktoberfest. I'm also trying to kill multiple birds with one stone and contribute to projects that have contribution rewards (Gatsby gives you a discount on swag and any contributions to a Microsoft open source project during Hacktoberfest will net you a t-shirt). Traveling for work hasn't been conducive to getting this stuff done either.
I have to say that this week I've been able to get a grip in those contributions. I've already exceeded the 5 PR limit and that motivates me, even more, to continue on the rest of the month (whenever I get some time)
My sticker is happy
I managed to complete the Hacktoberfest challenge on Oct 3rd and right now I have 13 PR's. It's my first Hacktoberfest and first time contributing to open source projects on GitHub but now I am hooked!
Still working on it. Just forked another project to fix an issue. I'm trying to work on projects that don't belong to me first, but....
I think I'm barely scraping by, but I am happy to announce that I was able to get several folks to make their first PR to a few of my repos. They seem to really enjoy the project so hopefully I can bake up some similarly silly ideas going forward and for future hackathons. Aside from my excitement at working with first-time contributors, I have learned a lot from managing these projects.
The shitty version of LINQ.
ShittyLINQ
The shitty version of the LINQ-to-objects Enumerable extension methods for .NET Core.
What this is
A collection of extension methods for
IEnumerable<T>This code that was authored while talking about how functions work and what map, filter and foldl do.
These are not meant to be used by anyone ever.
This assembly has no dependencies other than Generic Collections.
What this is not
Tested(Tests added 10/3/2017!)What's up with the name?
Earlier today I found out that NPM packages have a ton of Easter eggs and I laughed pretty hard about that.
This project was originally called ThingsThatArentAggregate_WithAggregate, and ShittyLINQ sounded better when the time came to release this masterpiece.

The shitty version of LINQ in JavaScript.
ShittyLINQ.js
The shitty version of the C# LINQ-to-objects Enumerable extension methods for JavaScript.
What this is
A function which, when called, adds a bunch of methods mirroring the System.Linq namespace from C#.
What this is not
What's up with the name?
This project is based on the ShittyLINQ .NET package.

Update to my progress:
4/4. Three to a JS eslint plugin project that I'm having some fun adding to and fixing issues, and one where I was converting Python 2 to 3 for a 30 Days of Code Repository.
I've done 6 PRs in total, but two of my PRs were marked as invalid as they were to repositories of algorithm and data structures (though, I added in a couple hundred lines of code to those and I did it from scratch with tests). Fair enough. Still was fun to code up graph search algorithms from scratch just to brush up, and because they are my favorite algorithms.
I'm having fun with Hacktoberfest, this being my first time participating, and I plan to put in more PRs by the end of the month. Perhaps I can get to 10 with my busy schedule =)
