      <guid>https://dev.to/panayiotisgeorgiou/completed-hacktoberfest-2025-4016</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F7louw3o3sijc9mhl83ru.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F7louw3o3sijc9mhl83ru.jpg" width="800" height="450"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you’d asked me a month ago whether I’d be contributing to multiple open source projects again this year, I’d probably have said, “Not sure I’ll have the time.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But here we are — challenge completed &lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F4b2y0m4hrgrahy569su0.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F4b2y0m4hrgrahy569su0.png" alt="✅" width="72" height="72"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fa92nfbqicn2i38k50cga.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fa92nfbqicn2i38k50cga.png" width="800" height="525"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://holopin.io/@georgioupanayiotis" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://holopin.io/@georgioupanayiotis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Awarded to Hacktoberfest Supercontributors who land 6+ accepted PRs/MRs! The first 10,000 people to reach the 6PR milestone also receive a special t-shirt code from DigitalOcean.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This year, I focused on small but meaningful contributions: improving &lt;strong&gt;responsive design&lt;/strong&gt; , fixing &lt;strong&gt;accessibility issues&lt;/strong&gt; , and helping with &lt;strong&gt;documentation&lt;/strong&gt; — things that often go unnoticed but make a real difference.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here’s what I learned along the way:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Contributed on more than &lt;strong&gt;6 open source projects&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Learned how to read and test unfamiliar codebases.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Got more comfortable with &lt;strong&gt;Git &amp;amp; GitHub workflows&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Built confidence collaborating with open source maintainers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The result? &lt;strong&gt;6 badges unlocked&lt;/strong&gt; , and another awesome Hacktoberfest experience added to the list.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Big thanks to the open source community for always being so welcoming — and to everyone who encouraged me to keep contributing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Already looking forward to &lt;strong&gt;Hacktoberfest 2026!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Whether you’re a seasoned developer, a newcomer to React, or someone looking to deepen your knowledge of JavaScript and web technologies, this conference has something to offer for everyone. Set in the vibrant city of Brussels, this event brings together thought leaders, industry experts, and passionate developers to dive into all things React. Here’s why you should mark your calendar and make your way to React Brussels this year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.react.brussels/#tickets" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Buy Tickets&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  1. &lt;strong&gt;Cutting-Edge React Insights&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;React Brussels isn’t just another tech conference—it’s a playground for those passionate about React and its ecosystem. With an incredible lineup of speakers, attendees will gain access to deep insights into the latest React trends, tools, and best practices. Whether it’s learning about new features in React, discovering advanced patterns, or understanding how to optimize performance, this conference ensures you’re always ahead of the curve.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Expect talks on everything from &lt;strong&gt;React 18&lt;/strong&gt; , &lt;strong&gt;Server-Side Rendering (SSR)&lt;/strong&gt;, to exploring the power of &lt;strong&gt;React Server Components&lt;/strong&gt;. With workshops led by experts, you’ll walk away with hands-on experience that you can implement in your projects immediately.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  2. &lt;strong&gt;Network with Industry Leaders&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Conferences like React Brussels provide a golden opportunity to connect with some of the brightest minds in the web development world. Share ideas, solve coding problems, and expand your professional network by engaging with speakers, sponsors, and other attendees. Whether you’re looking for mentorship, collaboration opportunities, or even new career possibilities, React Brussels is the place to be.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  3. &lt;strong&gt;Engage in Hands-on Workshops&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition to speaker sessions, React Brussels offers interactive workshops that cater to various skill levels. These workshops are designed to provide hands-on experience in solving real-world React problems. Whether you’re working with &lt;strong&gt;Hooks&lt;/strong&gt; , building complex &lt;strong&gt;React Native&lt;/strong&gt; apps, or leveraging &lt;strong&gt;GraphQL&lt;/strong&gt; with React, these workshops give you the chance to experiment with new technologies in a collaborative environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  4. &lt;strong&gt;Discover the Broader React Ecosystem&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;React isn’t just a front-end library anymore—it’s an entire ecosystem. React Brussels offers attendees a comprehensive look into the tools and libraries that complement React, such as &lt;strong&gt;Next.js&lt;/strong&gt; , &lt;strong&gt;Redux&lt;/strong&gt; , &lt;strong&gt;React Native&lt;/strong&gt; , and &lt;strong&gt;TypeScript&lt;/strong&gt;. The event also focuses on topics like &lt;strong&gt;accessibility&lt;/strong&gt; , &lt;strong&gt;performance optimization&lt;/strong&gt; , and best practices in &lt;strong&gt;React architecture&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With a mix of talks ranging from introductory to advanced, you’ll find content that resonates with your current projects and inspires you to push the boundaries of what’s possible with React.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  5. &lt;strong&gt;Explore Brussels, the Heart of Europe&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;React Brussels 2024 isn’t just about code—it’s also an opportunity to explore one of Europe’s most dynamic and culturally rich cities. Famous for its history, architecture, and delicious Belgian waffles, Brussels offers a wonderful setting for attendees to enjoy during and after the conference. Make sure to take some time to experience its world-renowned museums, historical landmarks, and, of course, the iconic &lt;strong&gt;Atomium&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  6. &lt;strong&gt;Support and Celebrate the Open-Source Community&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;React Brussels places a strong emphasis on supporting the open-source community that has built React and its ecosystem. As you attend the sessions, you’ll also learn about the importance of contributing to open-source projects, helping to maintain and improve the tools that developers around the world rely on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Participating in this event allows you to engage in discussions about the future of React, share your contributions, and get inspired by others in the open-source community.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  7. &lt;strong&gt;The Perfect Place for Team Building&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you’re part of a development team, React Brussels can be an excellent opportunity for team building. Many companies send their developers to conferences like these to upskill, gain inspiration, and bring back fresh ideas. Attending with your team allows you to collaboratively experience the content and later implement learnings into your projects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Conclusion
&lt;/h3&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fh52t5or74iv5lmvijmh6.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fh52t5or74iv5lmvijmh6.png" alt="Hacktoberfest 2024: A Celebration of Open Source and Community" width="800" height="480"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As the air grows cooler and the leaves begin to change, October brings not just the promise of fall but the excitement of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://hacktoberfest.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Hacktoberfest 2024&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;! Organized by &lt;strong&gt;DigitalOcean&lt;/strong&gt; , along with &lt;strong&gt;GitHub&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;DEV&lt;/strong&gt; , &lt;a href="https://hacktoberfest.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Hacktoberfest&lt;/a&gt; is a month-long event that unites developers and open-source enthusiasts worldwide. Whether you’re a seasoned programmer or just beginning your coding journey, &lt;a href="https://hacktoberfest.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Hacktoberfest&lt;/a&gt; offers the perfect opportunity to contribute to open-source projects, learn new skills, and make a meaningful impact in the tech community.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What is Hacktoberfest?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For those unfamiliar, &lt;a href="https://hacktoberfest.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Hacktoberfest&lt;/a&gt; is an annual event that promotes contributions to the open-source ecosystem. Over the course of October, participants are encouraged to submit pull requests (PRs) to repositories on &lt;strong&gt;GitHub&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;GitLab&lt;/strong&gt;. Once you register for the event, completing a certain number of pull requests (traditionally four) can earn you some awesome swag, like a limited-edition Hacktoberfest T-shirt or planting a tree in your name.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But &lt;a href="https://hacktoberfest.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Hacktoberfest&lt;/a&gt; is more than just about earning swag; it’s about &lt;strong&gt;learning&lt;/strong&gt; , &lt;strong&gt;collaboration&lt;/strong&gt; , and &lt;strong&gt;community&lt;/strong&gt;. Open-source projects thrive on contributions, and Hacktoberfest gives everyone—regardless of experience level—the chance to get involved, make connections, and grow as developers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Who Can Participate?
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyone! Whether you’re a &lt;strong&gt;front-end developer&lt;/strong&gt; using &lt;strong&gt;React&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;JavaScript&lt;/strong&gt; , a &lt;strong&gt;DevOps&lt;/strong&gt; engineer working with &lt;strong&gt;Kubernetes&lt;/strong&gt; , or a complete beginner with basic knowledge of &lt;strong&gt;HTML&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;CSS&lt;/strong&gt; , there’s something for everyone. Contributors can help with code, documentation, translations, testing, or even submitting bug reports. Every contribution counts!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here’s why you should participate&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Gain Experience&lt;/strong&gt; : Working on real-world projects helps you improve your coding and problem-solving skills.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Expand Your Network&lt;/strong&gt; : You’ll meet and collaborate with developers from around the globe.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Boost Your Portfolio&lt;/strong&gt; : Open-source contributions are highly valued by employers. Participating in &lt;a href="https://hacktoberfest.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Hacktoberfest&lt;/a&gt; can set your portfolio apart.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  How to Get Started
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Find a Project&lt;/strong&gt; : Look for repositories tagged with the &lt;code&gt;hacktoberfest&lt;/code&gt; label on GitHub or GitLab. Choose projects that match your interests or are beginner-friendly if you’re just starting.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Submit Your Pull Requests&lt;/strong&gt; : Make meaningful contributions to the project by fixing bugs, adding features, or improving documentation. Aim to submit at least four PRs to earn the swag!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Stay Involved&lt;/strong&gt; : &lt;a href="https://hacktoberfest.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Hacktoberfest&lt;/a&gt; isn’t just about code. Stay active in discussions, provide feedback, and encourage others to contribute.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Tips for Success
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Start Early&lt;/strong&gt; : With thousands of contributors worldwide, some repositories fill up fast. Getting an early start ensures you have plenty of time to contribute.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Read the Guidelines&lt;/strong&gt; : Always review a project’s contributing guidelines and code of conduct before submitting a PR.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Make Meaningful Contributions&lt;/strong&gt; : Small contributions matter, but avoid submitting low-quality PRs just for the sake of it. Aim to provide value to the project.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ask for Help&lt;/strong&gt; : If you’re stuck or unsure about something, don’t hesitate to ask maintainers or the community for guidance. Open-source communities are often very supportive.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Key Dates
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;October 1st – October 31st&lt;/strong&gt; : The official &lt;a href="https://hacktoberfest.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Hacktoberfest&lt;/a&gt; contribution period.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;November&lt;/strong&gt; : PR reviews and rewards distribution.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hacktoberfest.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F515d7kmcoz0wrzzj5ctq.png" width="800" height="318"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Why Open Source Matters
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Open-source software powers much of the world’s technology. From operating systems like &lt;strong&gt;Linux&lt;/strong&gt; to frameworks like &lt;strong&gt;React&lt;/strong&gt; , these projects rely on community contributions to evolve and improve. By participating in &lt;a href="https://hacktoberfest.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Hacktoberfest&lt;/a&gt;, you’re not just learning and coding—you’re joining a global movement that drives innovation and accessibility in technology.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, whether you’re aiming for the T-shirt, eager to plant a tree, or just looking to level up your coding skills, &lt;a href="https://hacktoberfest.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Hacktoberfest&lt;/a&gt; 2024 is the perfect chance to dive into the world of open source.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ftellddiogqmwcjwn5zj9.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ftellddiogqmwcjwn5zj9.jpg" alt="Exploring Node.js 20.6: Built-in Support for .env Files" width="800" height="533"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hey fellow developers! Today, let’s dive into one of the exciting new features introduced in Node.js version 20.6: the built-in support for &lt;code&gt;.env&lt;/code&gt; files. This enhancement simplifies how we manage environment variables in Node.js applications, offering a cleaner and more streamlined approach.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  What are &lt;code&gt;.env&lt;/code&gt; Files?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First things first, let’s quickly recap what &lt;code&gt;.env&lt;/code&gt; files are. These files are plain text files used to store configuration data, such as API keys, database URLs, or other environment-specific variables. Each line in a &lt;code&gt;.env&lt;/code&gt; file typically follows a &lt;code&gt;KEY=VALUE&lt;/code&gt; format, making it easy to read and update.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  The Problem Before Node.js 20.6
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Prior to version &lt;a href="https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v20.6.0" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;20.6&lt;/a&gt;, handling &lt;code&gt;.env&lt;/code&gt; files in Node.js required third-party libraries like &lt;code&gt;dotenv&lt;/code&gt;. While these libraries served the purpose well, they added an extra dependency and setup step to our projects. It was common to see code like this at the top of many Node.js scripts:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;

require('dotenv').config(); // Load environment variables from .env file


&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This approach worked fine but felt somewhat cumbersome, especially for beginners or developers looking for a more integrated solution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Node.js 20.6 to the Rescue!
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With &lt;a href="https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v20.6.0" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Node.js 20.6&lt;/a&gt;, managing &lt;code&gt;.env&lt;/code&gt; files becomes a breeze. The Node.js core now includes native support for loading environment variables directly from a &lt;code&gt;.env&lt;/code&gt; file, eliminating the need for third-party packages like &lt;code&gt;dotenv&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here’s how you can take advantage of this new feature:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Create a &lt;code&gt;.env&lt;/code&gt; File&lt;/strong&gt; : Start by creating a &lt;code&gt;.env&lt;/code&gt; file in the root of your Node.js project. Populate it with your environment variables, for example:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;

PORT=3000
DB_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/myapp
API_KEY=your_api_key_here


&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Access Environment Variables&lt;/strong&gt; : Within your Node.js application, you can access these variables using &lt;code&gt;process.env&lt;/code&gt; just like before, but without the need to explicitly load the &lt;code&gt;.env&lt;/code&gt; file:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;

const port = process.env.PORT;
const dbUrl = process.env.DB_URL;
const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY;


&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  How It Works
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v20.6.0" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Node.js 20.6&lt;/a&gt; automatically loads the &lt;code&gt;.env&lt;/code&gt; file when your application starts. This behavior is similar to how &lt;code&gt;dotenv&lt;/code&gt; worked, but now it’s seamlessly integrated into Node.js itself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Benefits of Built-in Support
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The inclusion of native &lt;code&gt;.env&lt;/code&gt; file support in &lt;a href="https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v20.6.0" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Node.js 20.6&lt;/a&gt; brings several advantages:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Simplified Setup&lt;/strong&gt; : No more installing and configuring &lt;code&gt;dotenv&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Reduced Dependency&lt;/strong&gt; : Your project has fewer external dependencies.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Improved Performance&lt;/strong&gt; : Direct integration with Node.js core means better performance.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Try It Out!
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you haven’t already, upgrade to &lt;a href="https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v20.6.0" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Node.js 20.6&lt;/a&gt; (or later) to leverage this new feature. Simply create a &lt;code&gt;.env&lt;/code&gt; file in your project directory and start using environment variables directly in your Node.js applications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;

node myapp.js


&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That’s it! &lt;a href="https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v20.6.0" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Node.js 20.6&lt;/a&gt; makes managing environment variables smoother and more intuitive than ever before. Give it a try and let us know what you think.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Happy coding!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>How to Fix GitHub Error – WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--Whzo18K4--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://www.panayiotisgeorgiou.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/error-temrinal.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--Whzo18K4--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://www.panayiotisgeorgiou.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/error-temrinal.png" alt="error-temrinal" width="800" height="304"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you encounter the error message “WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!” when using Git or GitHub, it typically means that the SSH fingerprint for the remote host has changed since the last time you connected to it. This post will indicate you How to Fix GitHub Error – WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--QZhBNnx5--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://www.panayiotisgeorgiou.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/error-temrinal-1024x389.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--QZhBNnx5--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://www.panayiotisgeorgiou.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/error-temrinal-1024x389.png" alt="err" width="800" height="304"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Error in Terminal&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  ***Normally, this is a very serious error, and you should pay attention to it.
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--6wCOML_V--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://www.panayiotisgeorgiou.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/error-vscode.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--6wCOML_V--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://www.panayiotisgeorgiou.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/error-vscode.png" alt="error-vscode" width="696" height="972"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Error VS code&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why this happened?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It turns out GitHub updated their RSA SSH host key a few days ago because it was briefly exposed in a public GitHub repo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  The Solution
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I fixed the problem by removing the old SSH key with the following command:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;ssh-keygen -R github.com
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Then the next time I ran &lt;code&gt;git push&lt;/code&gt; I added the new SSH key by answering &lt;code&gt;yes&lt;/code&gt; to the following question:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;I’m running Windows 10 with PowerShell and &lt;code&gt;git version 2.30.1&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For more information about why GitHub updated their SSH key see &lt;a href="https://github.blog/2023-03-23-we-updated-our-rsa-ssh-host-key"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
