Hacktoberfest 2020 challenge completed!

Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open-source software. It happens every year in October. During this event, everyone can support open-source by contributing changes and then earn limited-edition swag.

The main idea of this event is to promote open source contributions around the world.
