Hi @stefankoppier ,

I have made the changes required, and updated the website documentation as well. Please review the changes and let me know if any modifications are required.

I would also like to request you to wait till at least October 1 before merging this PR, so it can be counted as a valid Hacktoberfest contribution.

Thanks!

Hi @stefankoppier ,

Hacktoberfest has now started accepting contributions, so this PR can be merged now.
But, it is not detecting my PR for this issue as a part of Hacktoberfest. This is most probably because of the label of 'hacktoberfest' on this issue needs to start with a captial 'H', i.e., 'Hacktoberfest'.
Once this is done, I think it will detect my PR, and it can then be merged.

Thanks!

The documentation on the hacktoberfest page state that it needs to be in lowercase. However, hacktoberfest-accepted should be the PR label. Maybe you can recreate the PR, and I will add the accepted label.

@stefankoppier ok I will recreate the PR

@stefankoppier

I have recreated the PR. I found out why the PR was not being counted. The following is from hacktoberfest website:

Pull/merge requests created before October 1 but merged or marked as ready for review after do not count.
