Hacktoberfest 2023

Hacktoberfest

Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open source software run by DigitalOcean. During the month of October, we invite you to join open-source software enthusiasts, beginners, and the developer community by contributing to open-source projects. You can do this in a variety of ways:

  • Prepare and share your project for collaboration
  • Contribute to the betterment of a project via pull requests
  • Organize an event
  • Mentor others
  • Donate directly to open source projects

Rules

To qualify for the official limited edition Hacktoberfest shirt, you must register on hacktoberfest offical page (https://hacktoberfest.com) and make four Pull Requests (PRs) between October 1-31, 2023.
