- Hacktoberfest® is open to everyone in our global community. Whether you’re a developer, student learning to code, event host, or company of any size, you can help drive growth of open source and make positive contributions to an ever-growing community.
- All backgrounds and skill levels are encouraged to complete the challenge.
- Hacktoberfest is a celebration open to everyone in our global community.
- You can sign up anytime between October 1 and October 31.
- To earn your Hacktoberfest tee or tree reward, you must register and make four valid pull requests (PRs) between October 1-31 (in any time zone).
- Pull requests can be made in any participating GitHub or GitLab hosted repository/project. Look for the 'hacktoberfest' topic to know if a repository/project is participating in Hacktoberfest.
- Pull requests must be approved by a maintainer of the repository/project to count.
- If a maintainer reports your pull request as spam or behavior not in line with the project’s code of conduct, you will be ineligible to participate.
- This year, the first 55,000 participants who successfully complete the challenge will be eligible to receive a prize.
Whether it’s your first or fiftieth pull request, there’s always more to learn! We’ve put together a few resources that can help you create quality pull requests, keep your repositories pristine, and build on your open source knowledge.
- You can write solutions only in C++ for Data Structure and Algorithms (if you dont know C++ you can submit only algorithm)
- Follow file naming convention for all your pull requests.
- while adding any content it should be inside its appropiate directory
- if there is any problem with inaccurate solution create a issue
| use | file type | comments |
|---|---|---|
| questions | README.md | all questions of particular topic are mentioned in a README.md file inside the sub topic folder |
| C++ solutions | [topic name].cpp | solution C++ code file code to a question is written in same folder where question is mentioned |
| algorithm solution | [topic name]-algorithm.txt | algorithm solution to a question is written in a .txt txt file in same folder where question is mentioned |
| technical writing | [topic name]-content.md or [topic name]-content.txt | technical content can be provided in simple .txt text document inside technical writing folder you can also style it up and submit a .md file if you are aquainted with markdown language |
- You can add a solution to a question ( present in the readme of particular topic folder) that is unanswered
- you can update existing solution with a better one ( better complexity)
- you can add new questions along with its solution
- solve issue raised by other people or yourself
- make webpage ( hosted from GitHub readme ) more appealing and updated
- UI/UX of webpage
1. Fork this repo
2. Star this repo
3. Add a file ( txt/cpp ) inside appropriate folder
4. commit the code
5. Make pull request
The project has two parts:
-
C++
- C++ section will contain folders of all the data structures and algorithms topics with some pre-addressed questions.
- Participants can solve problems and send pull requests. Participants can even add questions and solutions of their interest.
- There will be a technical writing section in which participants can contribute their technical writing on any topic of c++ and data structures.
- The repository provides implementations of various algorithms in one of the most fundamental general-purpose languages - C++.
- Well-documented source code with detailed explanations provides a valuable resource for educators and students alike.
-
The webpage -( readme hosted )
- There shall be showcasing Daily tasks from Day 1 to Day 60.
- And a section to showcase technical writings of participants in the form of blogs
- Beginner-friendly
- Targeted for developers, content writers, and programming enthusiasts.
- Would also help participants who are not familiar with development but are eager to participate in open source.
