Hi, nicely written. Loved it!!

Btw, for Hacktober fest, does it require to register somewhere?

Thanks! Yes, you just need to register here: hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/ After that, you just need to create pull requests via GitHub and it'll be automatically tracked, as long as the project maintainer doesn't mark it as spam.

Thanks for the link. Just registered. So if I start committing now and raise a PR from October 1 will it be counted or the commit date also has to be from October 01, 2020?

I'm guessing it's just the pull request that needs to be submitted after Oct 1, regardless of when you make the commits. But I'm not totally sure.
