Bad repositories will be excluded.
We've seen many repositories that encourage participants to make simple pull requests β to quickly gain a pull request towards winning. While these projects may be a valuable learning tool for new contributors, they often aren't valuable and high quality contributions to open source projects, and go against one of our core values for Hacktoberfest.
Some examples of projects that donβt follow the values of Hacktoberfest include:
Projects asking contributors to add their name or profile information to a list
Projects asking contributors to submit assorted data structures and algorithms (DSA)
Projects asking contributors to curate arbitrary lists of quotes, interview questions, etc.
This repository definitely falls under the category of those aimed at contributors making a simple PR towards "winning".
