What Exactly Is Hacktoberfest ?
Hacktoberfest is a month-long event that takes place this year from October 1 to October 31, and invites people of all skill levels to contribute to their favorite open source projects. Since 2014, Hacktoberfest has been started and hosted by Digital Ocean , Appwrite, Docker and many more.
It has been awarding open-source project contributors with merchandise swag in exchange for pull requests, and more recently even planting trees in the contributorās name.
This year they are promoting three values:
- Everyone is welcome.
- Quantity is fun, quality is key.
- Short-term action, long-term impact.
Generally, contributing code is more involved, as it requires a deep understanding of the project.
As a result, maintainers have to deal with additional work. The best way to help everyone is to improve documentation, especially from the user's perspective. however You can also contribute by updating example projects to use the latest software version.
So What is Git and Github ? š¤
Letās understand the terms like Git, GitHub and Open Source.
GitHub
GitHub is a code hosting platform for collaboration and version control. GitHub lets you (and others) work together on projects.
Git
Git is a free and open-source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
Open Source Contribution
Open Source contribution means contributing to the development or improvement of open-source software and projects. Open-source software indicates the public repository on GitHub or GitLab.
My personal Experience in Hacktober fest 2021
So here are my some points that what I have experience & learn through out the event
- Such as using Git (in terminal kind of or you can say it is similar to Command prompt (cmd) but it is not the same ) Also I implement the git bash cmd int0o VS Code editor also I came to know the using Git lens plugins
- I learn to how to manage the repository in GitHub during this event
- I understand the how does open source work by using the Github
- As I understand the some basic commands of the Git then after I understand how to contribute as new contributor.
- here are my swags that I have received of pervious year
As a result, these are just a few of my personal experiences from the event; if I wrote about everything you will be get bored , Nonetheless, I had a great time because it allowed me to contribute to the various repository and it gave me happiness & dopamine's released while I contribute into the repository š by the way as I contributed to almost 25+ repository but later onwards itās only approved of 15 no issue still Iām filling happy as I'm the stared as beginner the number is still looking big but yes I know itās nothing for the advance people š
Conclusion
