As a Contributor #2

Hacktoberfest is a great opportunity for contributors to learn new skills, make a positive impact on the world, and have some fun!

Here are some tips for upcoming contributors:

Start early. This will give you more time to learn about the project and to make meaningful contributions.
Be patient. It can take some time for your contributions to be reviewed and merged. Be patient with the maintainers and be willing to make changes based on their feedback.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. The open source community is very welcoming and helpful. If you're stuck on something, don't be afraid to ask for help from the maintainers or from other contributors.
