      <description>&lt;p&gt;This is the first time I've tried to participate in Hacktober Fest with open-source projects that interest me. As a result of learning about a festival like Hacktoberfest, I was charged up and in the mood to spend a fruitful October.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So what is the Hacktoberfest ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--y8L5G_dr--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/0vpu9azbc0xp2r7ae20o.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--y8L5G_dr--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/0vpu9azbc0xp2r7ae20o.jpg" alt="question" width="800" height="400"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hacktoberfest Overview:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hacktoberfest is nothing but a monthly event promoting open-source contributions via platforms like GitHub/Gitlab. Participants aim to submit four pull requests, fostering collaborative coding and skill development&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quick Start&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sign up for Hacktoberfest &lt;a href="https://hacktoberfest.com/auth/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Find all the Hacktoberfest issues &lt;a href="https://github.com/search?o=desc&amp;amp;q=org%3Aiterative+label%3Ahacktoberfest&amp;amp;s=comments&amp;amp;state=open&amp;amp;type=Issues"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Read the contribution guideline (&lt;a href="https://dvc.org/doc/contributing/core"&gt;DVC&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://cml.dev/doc/contributing/core"&gt;CML&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://mlem.ai/doc/contributing/core"&gt;MLEM&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Join our Hacktoberfest&lt;a href="https://discord.gg/5j3uvSnzXb"&gt; Discord channel&lt;/a&gt; and ask any questions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create a pull request on the related GitHub repository&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Participate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The most exciting part about being involved in the open-source community is that no matter how small or big your contributions are, the community will welcome your efforts and collaborate with you positively, sharing feedback and expressing gratitude.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you haven’t started your Hacktoberfest challenge yet, it is just the right time; you have 4 weeks left to submit PRs and get your swag! Here are some important details:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hacktoberfest is &lt;strong&gt;open to everyone&lt;/strong&gt; in the global community&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can sign up anytime between &lt;strong&gt;October 1&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;October 31.&lt;/strong&gt; Make sure to sign up on the &lt;a href="https://hacktoberfest.com/"&gt;official Hacktoberfest website&lt;/a&gt; for your PRs to count&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Pull requests&lt;/strong&gt; can be made in any &lt;a href="https://github.com/topics/hacktoberfest"&gt;GitHub project that’s participating &lt;/a&gt;in Hacktoberfest (look for the “Hacktoberfest” topic)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Project maintainers must &lt;strong&gt;accept&lt;/strong&gt; your pull/merge requests for them to count toward your total&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Have &lt;strong&gt;4 pull/merge&lt;/strong&gt; requests accepted &lt;strong&gt;between October 1&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;October 31&lt;/strong&gt; to complete Hacktoberfest&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important Rules&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your pull/merge requests must be within the bounds of Hacktoberfest&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your pull/merge requests must not be spammy&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your pull/merge requests must be in a repo tagged with the “Hacktoberfest” topic, or be labeled as “Hacktoberfest-accepted”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your pull/merge requests must not be labeled as “invalid”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid submitting low-quality pull/merge requests. More details can be found &lt;a href="https://hacktoberfest.com/participation/#:~:text=AVOID%20SUBMITTING%20LOW%2DQUALITY%20PULL/MERGE%20REQUESTS."&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Contribute:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Explore Hacktoberfest Topics:&lt;/strong&gt; Check GitHub's Hacktoberfest topic and filter issues labeled 'hacktoberfest' combined with specific programming languages to find suitable repositories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Find Good First Issues:&lt;/strong&gt; Look for issues labeled 'good first issue' to identify beginner-friendly tasks with clear documentation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consider Documentation Tasks:&lt;/strong&gt; Contribute to projects labeled 'documentation' by improving comments and README files.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*&lt;em&gt;After success what do I get? *&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;this is what I &lt;strong&gt;got&lt;/strong&gt; (: &lt;strong&gt;cool&lt;/strong&gt;! right?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--QQY5-3zC--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/chovrdctudv3qr85r9tf.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--QQY5-3zC--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/chovrdctudv3qr85r9tf.png" alt="awards" width="617" height="848"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
