hacktoberfest 2023

Hacktoberfest Summary

Hacktoberfest is an event on GitHub or GitLab that encourages everyone to participate in open source software development. You are tasked with making 4 or more pull requests during the month of October. If your pull requests are accepted, then you win digital badges. It's a chance to learn more about git, GitHub or GitLab, and in the case of this project, more about web development, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
