Wow, I completed 4 PR this year Hacktoberfest! 🎉🌟😁

Yes! I completed my Hacktoberfest journey successfully after completing 4 PR request!

My plan for Hacktoberest.

Since last month I was keep in touch by Digital Ocean about Hacktoberfest event. I was learned how to make Pull Request to make Hacktoberfest event successfully complete. Then I make a webinar with my friends in a Facebook event, in where we teach hundreds of others how to do open source contribution, git and GitHub, Pull Request and as well as Hacktoberfest event.

We teach and let them know that If you know coding then you can do open source contribution to great projects. It help them many way like enrich their portfolio since GitHub is one of the profile what recruiter want to check out.

If you know coding/programming then it is okay, you can contribute many great projects. But if you don't know code well, then how can you contribute and participate Hacktoberfest? Well, Coding is not only option for contribution. You can contribute open source by helping documentation section too. And many projects don't need to know code for contribution. I also contribute projects in where I don't need to know code.

Progress

My first PR was bit hard and faced several failed attempts for twisted git issues. It was because I couldn't set remote upstream git repository. Then I tries several times, googling, read Stack overflow solutions and finally solved that issue.

After my first Pull Request completed then others PR was easy to completed. It takes almost 15 days to complete my total 4 PR requests.

Contributions

I mainly contributed to a cheatsheet repository, which name is Devsonket. Devsonket is helping others about cheeetshet of almost everything like Windows 10 OS cheetSheet, Linux command line cheetsheet, Adobe Photoshop cheetsheet and many more. It is mainly for Bengali communities. You can check it out!

I choose this repository because I got help from this and as I know little bit of shortcut of windows 10 and Linux command prompt, so it is easy to contribute and make PR to this repositories and make myself open source contributor.

Reflections

So it is really great experience to contribute Hacktoberfest event and successfully completing is another awesome experience. Now I know how to contribute open source. My contribution will continue. My next plan is contribute by coding in some great repositories.

Thanks to Digital Ocean, Dev.to, GitHub and others. Without Hacktoberfest I may never know how to contribute open source. Feel proud to be an open source contributor!
