Hello all👋

Article contents

  • My hacktoberfest journey
  • Important🌌 key points everyone(including future me) should note for the upcoming years for hacktoberfest also and for injournel contributions

1.My hacktoberfest journey
So as I am busy with college work and some issues but I am having thought about this month is so-called hacktober=october month firstly this time hacktoberfest is only opted for maintainers for that in the second week of hacktober I started looking for repositories those are participating in hacktoberfest and repositories those are active by opensource contributors daily examples are reactjs/vuejs/GitHub/freecodecamp.not the repositories of our friends so for one pull request I also did one so-called spammy pull request(i still regret about that pull 😣) after 2 days that PR is labeled invalid then I looked for other repositories preferred by my stack languages Ex:-Javascript/reactjs so then I made valuable contributions in other projects then my pull requests merged successfully I am sharing one PR link below in that pull request I contributed to official Github/Docs😍😁✨🎉

added Git Handbook link to further reading section #587

added Git Handbook link to further reading section

Why: In the further reading section I added one resource that covers every command of GitHub and git with a description that best fit there and that can help to the whole GitHub beginners community.

What's being changed: content/github/using-git/pushing-commits-to-a-remote-repository.md

Wow 16 PRs in one month? That is crazy! Congrats on finding meaningful ways that you can give back to open source as a college student.

Was there anything you learned specifically from the 11 that haven't been accepted?
