I learned a lot of new skills from Hacktoberfest, working with new developers on their projects helps me to improve a lot. It was a great experience.</p> <p>Hacktoberfest 2020 is one of the best experiences of my journey to a developer, that I will always cherish it. The excitement at the hour when my first pull request was merged can't be expressed in words. To Be Honest, I didn't know the importance of this fest I just take part in this fest for fun. My only target was to submit 4 pull requests but Later on, I realized that I did more than 4 pull requests. I am extremely grateful to be a part of Hacktoberfest 2020 which boosted my confidence to a different level.</p> <p>Skills I gained during this period -</p> <ul> <li>Git</li> <li>GitHub</li> <li>CSS</li> <li>Finding issues</li> </ul> <p>** I hope my journey with open-source will continue.**</p> <p>Thanks a lot, Digital Ocean for this opportunity!</p> hacktoberfest opensource github
