My First Hacktoberfest...

✨My First Hacktoberfest... ✨

Introduction

This was my first Hacktoberfest and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I exchanged 4 pull requests as per the guidelines and learned how to use GitHub.

Background

The idea and inspiration were given by my elder sister who is a software engineer and has been associated with the fest for the past 3 years. I have been taught by her how to proceed with the fest and what all has to be done.

Progress

I am a beginner. I like the way GitHub has helped me to get my self introduced to various open-source code over the platform I wish to explore it more and would continue contributing to it.

Contributions

I contributed in a project on CALCULATOR. I initially added percentage, average, power, remainder and sent pull requests for the same. Therefore, I completed 4 pull request successfully.

Reflections

Overall, I enjoyed the Hacktoberfest 2020, it was really nice working with the open-source for the first time. I will surely participate again in the coming years. I have learned how to use GitHub successfully and also how to work with open-source. Yes, I have made a few connections while working with the project CALCULATOR @riya-17 @rakshitkumar04 . I am looking forward to building some new projects and contribute to GitHub and take help from GitHub for my upcoming project completion.
