PHS Hacktoberfest

Go to the Hacktoberfest website for more information. You need to sign up for the event with github on their website.

The Premise

The whole idea behind Hacktoberfest is for devs to get involved in open source. This means posting your code for anyone to be able to look at, take inspiration from, and use. To complete the challenge, you have to make 5 pull requests. A pull request in its simplest form is a contribution to an open source repository, such as this one.

Instructions

Look at the folders in the repo. Inside each folder is a .md file that contains the instructions for the problem. You may use whatever programming language you would like to. Make sure to claim the problem by going to the issue titled the problem you are interested in and stating what laguage you would like to solve it with. If it is already claimed by someone, you can claim it as well, but you must use a different programming language. Create a solution for the problem and create a pull request submitting that solution. While you will most like not need to submit a full project containing multiple files to solve these problems, if you chose to: make sure that you upload the files in a folder. I will be adding more problems as time progresses and I will do my best to create problems with varying difficulty. If there is an issue with something as small as spelling error then that is a valid reason to make a pull request to fix that problem! That is part of open source!

How to make a pull request

There are loads of Youtube videos and articles on this topic, but for our purppses, all you will need to do is upload a file.

1. Fork this repository.

• Top right corner of the screen.

2. In the forked repository (it will say froked from DanielChapin/PHSHacktoberfest under the name of the repo), upload your file to the apropriate folder.

• Click on the folder which you will upload to.
• Click the Upload files button.

• Drag and drop the file(s) you would like to upload.
• Set the title for the commit to Added solution for Problem you solved

3. Create a pull request from your forked repository.

• Click New pull request

• Compare the master branch of the DanielChapin/PHSHacktoberfest repo to the master branch of your forked repo and click create pull request.

4. Repeat until you have completed the challenge!
