Hacktoberfest, in its 8th year, is a month-long celebration of open source software run by DigitalOcean. During the month of October, you are invited to join open-source software enthusiasts, beginners, and the developer community by contributing to open-source projects.

• For beginners this is the great opportunity to dive in the pool of open source.
• Laptop stickers
• Hacktoberfest T-shirt👕/Tree🌱(Tree planted in your name and help make Hacktoberfest 2021 more carbon neutral)

🏷️To earn your Hacktoberfest reward, you must register and make four valid pull requests (PRs) between October 1-31 (in any time zone). PRs can be made to any public repo on GitHub, not only the ones with issues labeled Hacktoberfest. 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.

• First fork this repository.
• Repeated codes will not be merged.
• The quality of pull requests is paramount,quantity comes second.
• Submit atleast four pull requests.
• No programming language boundation.

Pull requests let you tell others about changes you've pushed to a branch in a repository on GitHub.

A fork is a copy of a repository that you manage. Forks let you make changes to a project without affecting the original repository. You can fetch updates from or submit changes to the original repository with pull requests.

Creating Pull Request

Rebasing and Updating Pull Request

To work on this project, you will first need to make a copy of this repository. To do this, you should fork the repository and then clone it so that you have a local working copy.

Get your own Fork/Copy of this repository by clicking Fork button at right upper corner of your screen.

After the repository is forked, you can now clone it so that you have a local working copy of the codebase.

To make your local copy of the repository follow the steps:

• Open the Command Prompt
• Type this command:

$ git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/Hacktoberfest2021

This is one of the very important step that you should follow to contribute in Open Source. A branch helps to manage the workflow, isolate your code and does not creates a mess. To create a new branch:

$ git branch <name_of_branch>
$ git checkout -b <name_of_branch>

Keep your cloned repository upto to date by pulling from upstream (this will also avoid any merge conflicts while committing new changes)

git pull origin main

Make relevant changes according to the issue that you were assigned on. Contribute in any way you feel like :)

Once you have modified an existing file or added a new file to the project, you can add it to your local repository, which is being done with the git add command.

git add .

With our file staged, we’ll want to record the changes that we have made to the repository with the git commit command.

The commit message is an important aspect of your code contribution; it helps the other contributors fully understand the changes you have made, why you made it, and how significant it is.

git commit -m "useful commit message"

At this point you can use the git push command to push the changes to the current branch of your forked repository:

git push origin <branch-name>

Now, you are ready to make a pull request to the original repository.

You should navigate to your forked repository, and press the "Compare & pull request" button on the page.

GitHub will alert you that you can merge the two branches because there is no competing code. You should add in a title, a comment, and then press the “Create pull request” button.
