It'll send you an email and create a profile that will track all the pull requests you submit, good luck!

Hacktoberfest encourages developers to contribute to open source and help improve code. They give away T-shirts and stickers to those participating for motivation and encouragement. Hopefully, you'll get a lot out of this and be interested in contributing to open source after October too.

Manage configs on the go 🔥

<p align="center">

export  class  AppModule  {}

With config file supplied and safe set to true:

import  { Module }  from  '@nestjs/common';
import { EasyconfigModule } from  'nestjs-easyconfig';

@Module({
 imports:  [EasyconfigModule.register({path: './config/.env', safe: true})],
})
export  class  AppModule  {}

By default safe is set to false. When safe is set to true, the module compares the supplied env file with the sample env file to find missing keys. If any keys…
