Today I've stopped myself to send a pr because hactoberfest hasn't started yet 😅

Have made 4 submissions and got invited to this page! #hacktoberfest

It's October 1 in my timezone so I have about 5 PRs ready to be hopefully accepted. 😄 One of them is to DEV.to!

I'm really excited to be working with different code bases (including languages I've never tried before) this time! I must admit I'm having a blast 🚀!

Completed 4 PR's! This was my first #hacktoberfest, so I was/am still a bit nervous. I'd like to be more active with contributing to open-source projects from here on out.

I feel extremely uncomfortable to touch any big problems, but this was a step forward!

Just realized that I completed the #hacktoberfest challenge 😅. Have been contributing to Open source projects for quite some time now. Just love this stuff ❤️. Open Source community FTW 😄

Getting ready for tomorrow - Oct 1st!!!

And DONE!!!!

That is the best thing ever... worked for years alone on a project (sirix.io) and finally getting my first contributions/PRs :-)

I am turning reactjs.org to PWA (the basic one)!

I decided to add Web App manifest to reactjs documentation for hacktoberfest so users can "Add to Homescreen" the documentations. Also added URL bar color and logo to it.

Here's my PR:

WebApp manifest added to allow users "Add to Homescreen" documentations #2377

saurabhdaware commented on Sep 30, 2019

This solves issue #2259

Then

Currently there is not manifest set for the website so logo is blank and title is set as a name. Also the color of URL bar in chrome is plain white. Here's how it will look after this PR.

Now

Image 1 is to show the new color of URL bar in chrome Image 2 is the screen after selecting "Add to homescreen" Image 3 is the splash screen after opening it as WebApp

I've added color to the URL bar, Configured name, short_name and other properties. and added a logo file in src/images/react_logo.png (Needed 512px png logo so had to add a new logo)

This is my first contribution here so I'm sorry if I missed out on something

2 of the PRs are in an npm module called prompts for some bug fixes.

And 1 PR is in the

I am looking forward to work with them even after hacktoberfest as they are working on application related to climate change.

Also, I am working on a PR for DEV. It will not really be part of hacktoberfest as I've already sent 4 PRs but I am super excited to work on DEV

I just learned a lot by this event, did 4 PL and got here. Lets hope my PL don't go in waste. I am still doing more because of this event as it has given me interest in this thing. Thank You to DigitalOcean, DEV Team for Hacktoberfest

i completed the challenge on Saturday (06/10) during an exclusive women's meeting, focused on learning and teaching git / github concepts for other women, together, we made the 'hacktoberfest for women'.
the initiative was born with the communit 'Developer Circles from Facebook' here in Recife, Pernambuco - Brazil and was has support for another groups, some like Women Who Code and Pyladies.

so, how the life isn't just code, one of my PR's, was in an amazing and funny repository, the 'DevJoke' of Shruti Kapoor (github.com/shrutikapoor08/devjoke)

"this is all folks!"

I didn't even know that Hacktoberfest started, and received "Congratulations on submitting 4 PRs during Hacktoberfest!" email :-)

This is the advantage of getting paid to work on Open Source!

It was a great experience to be a part of the #hacktoberfest for the first time!

Hi, anyone knows the size chart for Hacktoberfest T-Shirt? I only see the dropdown to select size and then the next page is delivery address but cannot find the size chart anywhere.

I just made more than 4 PRs to a project I enjoy contributing to and to add more fun to it, it is Hactoberfest!! Currently, under review from the maintainers. I am off to do more ....🏃🏾‍♂️

Big Shout Out to Everyone making Hacktoberfest possible. I, notably, achieved my first 4 PRs and the first time I have participated in this event. I have to confess - I think I am addicted. Perfect environment for me. I am now looking for more to contribute and take my skills up a notch! #thankyou

I am a complete newbie to GitHub and open source contribution. This challenge motivated me to make contributions. Made 4 pull requests, let's hope they are accepted. Opensource is interesting. No doubt.

Firstly, apologies if I have already commented. I couldn't find my comment, thus adding one. It's all very new to me and I am just working thing out.

I completed my first 4 pull request last week. Since then I have been slowly taking on a few other things. Just a big shout out to everyone for making this happen. It is a lot of fun and with out a community, like yourself, people like me ... well...we would still be stuck in a dark (or light) corner trying to figure things out! #thankyou #hacktoberfest

Just realized that I completed the #hacktoberfest challenge 😅. Have been contributing to Open source projects for quite some time now. Just love this stuff ❤️. Open Source community FTW 😄 #dev #github #opensource

Made 4 PR(s) to some projects ! One landed and three more pending for reviews. Hopefully, those three PR(s) get landed too. #hacktoberfest

I've just submitted my 4th PR and received Hacktobert's e-mail letting me know to wait for maintainers' approval. Can't wait! This is my first time, so I'm basically learning how to use Git and at the same time contributing to projects spreading the word about Data Science and Python resources. It was a bit hard to find projects I could help as a first-timer and code newbie, but I was able to add a community I'm part of, a podcast I listen to, a Youtube channel I watch, and a book I translated to 4 repos I follow. It's great practice on using Git! #Hacktoberfest

Already did 4 PRs on the first day, but I don't intend to stop :)

Started with focusing on Elixir. Updated (and translated to Russian) a few lessons on Elixir School, and updated Phoenix documentation on DevDocs to 1.4!

Have made 4 submissions and I am invited to part of this thread. Hopeful of all the submissions being accepted.

Finished 4 pull requests already! I've never participated in anything like this so it was some great experience and very addictive! I definitely plan on making a habit of doing this more often as I learned a lot and it felt good to see my contributions!

Good luck all!

Already got my 4 PRs in; that was quick 😂
Most were fixing typos and ensuring projects have the proper license file so Github can detect it properly. I like how Github recommends great repos to me based on my stars, it works very well for me. I've found a few interesting ones already, so I might contribute some more substantial PRs this month just because ✊

First PR submitted for Hacktoberfest! Figured I'd start with something simple - addressing Node.js audit issues in the Itch app, something I happen to use frequently.

github.com/itchio/itch/pull/2332

I am done!

• github.com/jmfayard/buildSrcVersio...
• github.com/kotlintest/kotlintest/p...
• github.com/kotlintest/kotlintest/p...
• github.com/JavaEden/OrchidStarter/...

It was my privilege to make a number of contributions to the Open Web Components recommendations and tools.

• docs: add simple example to event unit test guide improves documentation on open-wc test helpers around testing custom element events
• feat(testing-helpers): allow rendering non-TemplateResult updates the fixture testing helper to accept all the types that lit-html's render accepts
• chore: add eslint-plugin-no-only-tests - adds an invaluable linting rule that prevents you from accidentally committing describe.only(...) and friends
• feat(es-dev-server): enable compression enables compression by default in the es-dev-server
• feat(create): dynamic READMEs dynamically generates a README for your project based on which generator options you selected.

In addition to that, I was also pleased to make a small contribution to crocks that should bring you HM type signatures on hover in your IDE.

This year I contributed to @lostdesign's awesome project, webgems.io, and added a bunch of useful Typography resources, as well as rewriting the contribution guide to make contributing easier for fellow community members 🙌

Second Hacktoberfest I've taken part in, my four PRs have now been submitted! Mixture of fixes, feature improvements, documentation and README polishing! Three of the PRs have already successfully been merged, the last one will hopefully soon be as well. Feel free to visit my GitHub profile to check out the stuff I'm up to! Congrats to all participants! :)

Had to use mongoose-dummy at work, which is slightly out-dated, so I had to add the missing blocks :)

Without even realizing it, the Hacktober challenge was completed 😄

Just completed my 4 PRs. I contributed to a write a Markdown (.md) file, a Java code, an HTML one and a web design project with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It's my second time at Hacktoberfest and it feels so good to contribute to open source. Have a great day everyone! 😄

Phew, got my PRs in. Certainly nice not to be racing to finish them at the end of the month like last year!

If anyone is looking for #PowerShell repos to contribute to, I can recommend:

Just submitted my fourth PR! This is my second time participating and it's amazing seeing how much I've learned since last time. It's been a blast contributing to projects I care about, even if just small fixes, but I plan to keep contributing regardless!

I've just joined a new company and was struggling finding time to contribute first.
Still managed to pull off 4 PRs. Two of them have a slightly more impact.
Not going to stop here though ;) A big portion of October is remaining.
Excited for the T-Shirt 😄

Successfully submitted more than 4 PR's to opensource project & they have merged too ! Really Excited 🚀 #hacktoberfest

Damn, just finished my first ever hacktoberfest! Never thought contributing can be this challenging and fun.

I did it! 8) Actually my second year that I join Hacktoberfest. Last year I was stoked I got a GitHub account, didn't get too lost there, and completed as well. This year I set some goals for myself. 1) I wanted to use GitHub desktop to do a pull request and 2) I wanted to really contribute to at least one open source project. I achieved both these goals and along the way learned even more, and got even more exciting about coding and learning and basically this path I am on.

While achieving goal 1, I found this (github.com/firstcontributions/firs...) great first timers repo with a tutorial on how to use VSC (which I just decided to use a month or so ago) in combination with GitHub. Mind blown, I had no idea. Now I learned this and i did all the other PR this way.

Then I found a repo that was just awesome. We are making a CSS Zoo (github.com/xaca/css_zoo). I really love this project, it's easy for beginners and superfriendly and fun. I translated the Readme file to Dutch (voor de Nederlandse lezers, ik heb een typfout achter gelaten zodat je deze kan fixen met een PR ;)) and added an animal.

That does leave my goal number 2.. Really contribute.. I don't know why but there are no Hacktoberfest events in the Netherlands this year. That is why I went to Dusseldorf, Germany yesterday for a Meetup from a React group who did have an event. Got up early and drove east and I am so happy I went. I met a lot of inspiring people, made friends and one 'gave' me a bug he found for my last PR (here github.com/tech-conferences/confs....) where I also had my first experience with React and Typescript. Goal 2 :check:

Hacktoberfest 2019 was already amazing, teaching me new thing, on the way I only came across super friendly people and got inspired to push myself and get out there. Thank you @digitalocean and @devteam, thanks a lot. But Hacktober is not over yet! Now I want to see how I can maybe help others, any questions other newbies have, I am happy to help!

4 PR's ready!
One already merged, one had quite a lot of review and things needed to fix and I accidentally improved the speed of the project, lol.
Other two awaiting review!
Definitely cool event, I've learned about nice projects and found some sites listing issues, very nice!

Contributions are welcome on my own repo too!

First time contributor, finally got around to gitting, forking, cloning, committing and pulling all the things! And finally took the courage to submit a simple project focusing on simple CSS animations. Now I will look forward to more bigger and bolder adventures as I carry on with my learning and experimenting. It was not as scary as I thought it would be.

It's time! Last year I won my t-shirt but you know... Argentina. This edition I'll do tons of PRs and pray to get the t-shirt xD

Yeah, I did it ! Last year I stopped after 1 PR. And this year, after 2 days, I made 4 PRs, little contributions to the Godot Engine documentation to close some issues. I will continue to do PRs all the month, maybe I will try to fix some engine little issues (let's learn C++ 😀 ) !

Last year I was too scared to participate as I was like 3 months into coding, but I wish I had! It was awesome checking new repos, seeing how other teams handle their code and sending PRs that get merged (I got too excited and sent two before Oct 1). I'm actually really happy that I participated this year!

Got 4 PR's done finally, 3 merged already and the 4th should be merged soon! This was an awesome way to push myself back into coding. I learned how to regularly fix conflicts with a project that was highly volatile as well as add to another project that sets out to help Junior Devs find resources.

Now I'm just crossing my fingers that my PR's count since the 7 day window is after the 31st, and I make it under the 50,000 people to get a shirt! I'll be sporting that all over the place.

I found out about Hacktoberfest a few days ago while working on a feature I wanted in Sentry. Here's my four PRs.

• Implemented GitLab subgroup support in Sentry. getsentry/sentry#15178
• Implemented GitLab whole-instance integration support in Sentry. getsentry/sentry#15188
• Configured Streamlit to accept environment variables for CLI options and arguments. streamlit/streamlit#477
• Fixed a bug with the new --server.baseUrlPath option in Streamlit 0.49.0. streamlit/streamlit#523

Yess!! Finished the Hacktoberfest challenge. All my contributions were to the nushell/nushell repo which has some really good low-hanging fruit on issue #711. I actually did not contribute any code, just some helpful documentation on nushell.

I contributed my four PRs for Hacktoberfest 2019. Aside from my simple haiku here: github.com/do-community/cloud_haik..., I also contributed to the DefinitelyTyped library: github.com/DefinitelyTyped/Definit..., so that users of Express have more flexibility with TypeScript when working with req.body regardless of whether they have installed middleware such as bodyParser and helping TypeScript help us in avoiding invalid inputs.

My third and fourth PRs:
github.com/wix/react-native-swipe-...
github.com/wumke/react-native-imme...
was based on a need to get these libraries working with React Native 0.60.4 with Androidx without having to alter the dependencies which would not work the next time someone has to npm install anew for my project and anyone else who experienced the same error.

I forgot I signed up, despite me inviting the DEV community to help out over at Exercism:

I decided to build a Track Maintenance Dashboard which has been deployed since last night. The co-founder of Exercism loved it so much, he gave me a subdomain so we could host it. And the best part? It's OSS! So you can see how I built it:

For my first time contributing code for Hacktoberfest, I learned a lot from doing contributions! I have done the goal of four contributions so far, but just because I did four does not mean I will stop! I hope to have more contributions as the month goes on.

Hi, everyone!

This was my first Hacktoberfest and I must say it was incredible. Pretty challenging though.

I have never worked directly as a software developer, but I used to code some Shell Script automations for myself, spending like 1 hour a week.

So I thought, am I really capable of contributing to something meaningful due to my lack of experience? I will give it a try.

I have searched some projects that use Shell Script, and were not too complex, so I was able to contribute. I felt amazing. The feeling of improving something (at least it's what I think hahaha) is awesome.

After the challenge, I will try to create the habit of contributing to open-source projects, even more because I don't work with programming, so I will keep learning and pushing myself to study more and more.

Thank you DigitalOcean! :)

As last year was my first Hacktoberfest, I was just eager to get the PR count and wasn't after quality/substance all that much. This year I was determined to make the PRs count! I pushed my comfort zone a bit and went after actual features instead of hunting minor tweaks or minimal code changes.

I just completed the four PRs and was redirected here. Currently, under review from the maintainers. I believe the fun has just started; would welcome projects to contribute related to Graph Databases (Neo4j), Django or simply SQL related.

Hello Everyone!!

This is the first time I contribute to Open Source and the best part is participating in Hacktoberfest, I'm really proud and glad, ¡If I can do it, you can do it! 😎🎊

I'd successfully completed hacktober fest a few years ago but didn't get a single PR in last year and wasn't sure what I was going to work on. But last week, I got inspired to move over my site to using Gridsome with a Drupal integration and learned a lot along the way. So at the halfway mark, I have been able to knock out 4 PRs, yay!

Got my four in for this year! It's my first year participating in Hacktober Fest (no sure why I did not do it before) and even though it's not my first time contributing to OSS it was definitely different know there was a goal.

Finally I am here, really happy to have made it to having 4 PR.... really nice to be here

my first and second PRs was on an Employee Timesheet

the third was an online programming quiz website which needs more clean up and more array of question on their website

the last was an online guess game website who was having difficulties in using css specificity due to using bootstrap..
thanks to hacktoberfest the website look much better now

really happy to be helpful to other.

Just got my four PRs! A couple of them to my own project for a11y. If you have any resources to contribute (even if you hit all your PRs already) please go check out a11yfirst.netlify.com. I'd be happy to even get some resources in comments too to add to the site.

It's awesome seeing the Open Issues on github get snagged up so quickly for Hacktoberfest. Was able to participate and commit code on some pretty sweet projects. This is the first Hacktoberfest I was able to participate in and loved it!

Finally got my 4 pull requests in, contributing to the open source #CFML documentation on cfdocs.org. Lots more work is needed, so more PR's are welcome!

Have Successfully Completed Hacktoberfest Challenge and Vary Happy to share that all are accepted with thanks message of project owners and maintainers. Even I was enjoying to work on such amazing open-source projects and made around 10+ PRs.

One of mine was to add metadata to a Python Package, while three others were to create new Docker images provided by a framework maintainer, but one of the framework dependencies has a critical bug, so it may not be merged yet.

I just heard about hacktobefest today and registered. I merged many commits directly without creating a pull request into my repositories :(
I still have 4-6 PRs, but I could make a couple of really good PRs with those commits.

Found 4 issues and fixed them all in 5 hours.. good start to the weekend! :)

3rd year in a row I've finished #hacktoberfest within the first half of the weekend.. can't wait for the Hacktoberfest event we're organizing in Pune.. Hoping to go up to 10 this time :D

Woo! Finally made my fourth PR submission, just before the end of the Hacktoberfest 🎉! Can't believe it's already over, will definitely get into the habit of contributing to open source projects more often! 😀

Well just finished submitting 4 PR! Two are new #Azure policy samples and the other two are related to localization issues in #Microsoft Docs. Will all 4 get accepted? Will I get the nice T-shirt? Tic Tac Tic Tac...

Done with the Hacktoberfest challenge(worked on accessibility issues) but not with contributing to open source!:)<3

I finally made it! Have always wanted to participate in Hacktoberfest since I learned about it a couple of years ago!

This week I finished 5 PRs and working one more. I am very glad that I could contribute to my favourite open source projects and get to be part of the community. Also this week marks me joining the DEV community!

Thanks!

Done ✅ with the Hacktoberfest challenge!

Updated my vuejs git remote repository browser kanban extension to support firefox together with chrome. github.com/funktechno/git-kanban-e.... Been on my TODO list. I also cut my webpack build size down more than 90% by upgrading to webpack 4 (was a major build configuration wework).

I contributed to a open source project that I saw as a suggestion 2 years ago for Hacktoberfest. I contributed to my friend's open source project. And I also updated my personal website that's public on GitHub. It was a really productive October for Hacktober :)
I also participated in #inkTechTober for about half of this month.

Completed 4 PR's! This was my first #hacktoberfest also am new to GitHub. Now i'm quite confident about Git and more active with contributing to open-source projects.
As i was new to GitHub, i was scaring to make PRs in Big Problems, so i made 6 PRs in small Projects.

I had a hard time at work in the recent months preventing me from doing too much opensource contributions. So every time I came around something PR-worthy, I made a small note to come back to it when hacktoberfest starts. 3/4 of my planned PRs were already fixed, some turned out to be an error on my part (not a bug), the rest is fixed now. :-)

I already made 4 contributions and hopefully they will all get merged 😄It's so much fun year and year again!

Boom, my first Hacktoberfest is done!

I'll still poke around a bit, but I made the most of my 6 day mini vacation by helping out around the internet :D

Looked into this issue I've commented on before, buuuuut the fix is hard so nevermind:

Users can not remove a deleted Github repo that has been pinned to their profile. #745

slbelden commented on Sep 25, 2018

Bug Report

Current Behavior

A Github repository that has been pinned to a user's profile (in the Integrations section of the profile settings) remains pinned when the Github repository is deleted. However, the repository is no longer listed in the user's profile settings, so it can never be removed.

Expected Behavior

A Github repository that has been pinned to a user's profile is unpinned when the repository is deleted. OR All pinned Github repositories remain visible in the user profile settings even if they have been deleted, so they can be unpinned manually.

Mobile & Desktop Screenshots/Recordings

Note the "Ompi-Journal" pinned repo:

The repo is deleted, so it does not apear in this list, and can not be removed:

4PRs! and they are mostly READMEs 🤦‍♀️

It was a great experience to be a part of #hacktoberfest for the second time in a row!! :))

I just completed #hacktoberfest challenge! Made 4 PRs, but I still have some to do. 😄

My fisrt participation in hactoberfest and i am very happy.

Sorry for my english

This was my first hacktoberfest, and my first open source contributions as well (after almost 10 years coding).

I'm really glad i did it. Now it just seems that open source projects are more approachable.

I am also excited to start new open source projects and help out those that I like.

While I don't like being sick and lying most of the time, I managed to submit my 4 PR's to electron's documentation by converting their API examples to a Fiddle one 😊 because I just couldn't do nothing.

[Hacktoberfest] Porting electron-api-demos to Electron Fiddle examples in docs #20442

erickzhao commented on Oct 05, 2019

Context

This meta-issue addresses a need to bridge the gap between our website's online docs, electron-api-demos, and Electron Fiddle.

• What's electron-api-demos?

  As the name indicates, electron-api-demos` is a collection of examples for Electron APIs wrapped in an application. Each demo contains a executable example of the API along with sample code and additional explanations.

• What's Electron Fiddle?

  Electron Fiddle is a code playground allowing developers to tinker around with small experiments that can later be exported into full-fledged Electron applications. The interface allows users to create and run small Electron apps with a single main.js, renderer.js, and index.html.

• Motivation

  • Although collecting runnable API demos is nice, having the sample code gated behind an application increases friction, and maintaining the app in its current state for more than 1 release line is difficult.
  • Having the code available online makes it easier to find and more accessible to read, but having to manually launch
  • Porting over electron-api-demos into Fiddle-friendly examples is a big step into ultimately having API code samples available in the docs as runnable Fiddles.
• Current Progress

  • Recently, Electron Fiddle added the capability of loading code directly from the docs on the electron/electron repo (see electron/fiddle/pull/203). However, there are currently no examples!
  • The ElectronJS website currently has an open PR (electron/electronjs.org/pull/2848]) adding the ability to launch the Fiddle protocol from the Electron website.

Task

We will be attempting to port over all of the electron-api-demos examples in the codebase. For context on how API demos are structured, see the docs here.

The task is to ultimately convert each demo into an Electron Fiddle sample that's equivalent in functionality. Please include the explanatory text from the HTML files as well. Note that many of these demos are tightly coupled in logic, and a single PR can be submitted for multiple demos within a Section.

The easiest way to do so is to pick an example in electron-api-demos, recreate the example in Electron Fiddle (using the electron-api-demo source code as a starting point), save the Fiddle locally into a folder, and move that example into /docs/fiddles/[CATEGORY]/[SECTION]/[DEMO].

Example Fiddle

See the following PR for an example of this task (Asynchronous Messages demo): #20441

Code style

Code should follow the StandardJS style guidelines. To format your code, run the following snippet in your directory.

    npm install -g standard # if you don't have it installed
    cd YOUR_FIDDLE_IN_DOCS_FOLDER
    standard --fix

Folder structure

Add the contents of your Fiddle (main.js, renderer.js , and index.html but not package.json) into a new /docs/fiddles/[CATEGORY]/[SECTION]/[DEMO] folder in your fork of electron/electron

For a handy graph on what category/section/demo mean:

PR requirements

• PR is merging into master branch.
• File structure adheres to the requirements above.
• Code in PR runs successfully in Electron Fiddle with the latest release of Electron 6.
• Code in PR passes a linting check with Standard.

Assignees

Since this is a meta-issue that will require many PRs from contributors, we will attempt to proceed in a first-come-first-serve fashion. Examples will be marked as claimed as soon as a PR is opened for them.

In the interest of focusing on getting each PR reviewed and merged, please only open one PR at a time before opening another.
