My first OpenSource Contribution Experience

Introduction

I am a Software Developer Engineer but did not know much about GIT because i didn't use i used TFS, but I saw that I needed to learn GIT, so I started learning it on Youtube, then @ankitdhobal shared this event on hakinCodes! I was excited to get in! so I did, even knowing that I was a beginner in this world but I was not afraid.

Background

When, I was register for the hacktoberfest 2020, I was totally new to the open source coding. Through this fest I have learned about how to contribute at open source coding. And, I have learned about git and github. This fest really helps me to boost up my career.

Contributions

My contributions are:

Merge Sort in both sequential and parallel way in python
https://github.com/ankitdobhal/Awesome-Python-Scripts/pull/299
Maximum Sum SubArray https://github.com/rituburman/hacktoberfest2020/pull/140
Smallest SubArray with given Sum
https://github.com/itsakshayv/Hacktoberfest2020-contribution/pull/53
Merge Interval https://github.com/rituburman/hacktoberfest2020/pull/161

I choose interview coding question tasks because I enjoy to do coding.

Reflections

This is the first time I had participated in Open-source event. It's was a great learning experience. I would like to thanks #hacktoberfest and DigitalOcean for providing an opportunity to contribute back to the community.
