This repository is for Hacktoberfest 2023, with open tasks aimed at improving open-source contributions among students.

• Fork this repository, add your file to a specific folder, and name your file with your GitHub username. If you have multiple files, create a directory in the designated folder with your GitHub username and add all files to it. Afterward, create a pull request (PR) to this repository with #{issue-id} in PR description. Ensure that your code is well-formatted, clean, and original—avoid copying and pasting from the internet. Please follow the instructions provided below as well.

• Register anytime between September 26 and October 31.
• Pull requests can be made in any GitHub or GitLab hosted project that’s participating in Hacktoberfest (look for the “hacktoberfest” topic).
• Project maintainers must accept your pull/merge requests for them to count toward your total.
• The first 50,000 participants to have their first PR/MR accepted will have a tree planted in their name through Tree Nation.
• Participants with four pull/merge requests accepted between October 1 and October 31 will receive a unique digital reward.

• Your PR/MRs must be created between October 1 and October 31 (in any time zone, UTC-12 thru UTC+14).
• Your PR/MRs must be made to a public, unarchived repository.

• Found a repository that goes against the values of Hacktoberfest? Let us know and we’ll take a look.

• We use the Node.js 18 RegEx engine with /\bspam\b/i to look for spam labels.
• PR/MRs that also have the “hacktoberfest-accepted” label cannot be marked as spammy via a label.
• PR/MRs that have been merged and do not have a label containing the word “invalid” cannot be marked as spammy via a label.
• PR/MRs that our system detects as spammy will also not be counted.

• Hacktoberfest is now opt-in for maintainers, so only contribute to projects that indicate they’re looking for Hacktoberfest PR/MRs.
• Once your PR/MR has passed this check, we won’t check this again (unless your PR/MR fails a check before this, such as it being marked as spammy).

• PR/MRs that have a label containing the word “invalid” won’t be counted, unless they also have the “hacktoberfest-accepted” label. Specifically, we use the Node.js 18 RegEx engine with /\binvalid\b/i to look for invalid labels.

• Your PR/MR must not be a draft to be considered accepted.
• If your PR/MR is being accepted for Hacktoberfest via an overall approving review it must also not be closed.

• We continually evaluate all of the checks except the [participating] check. If it fails any of these checks during this time, the seven day timer will reset.
• After the seven day review period completes, your PR/MR will be automatically accepted for Hacktoberfest assuming it still passes all the checks. Once accepted for Hacktoberfest, we stop checking. :party:
