Initially it took time, but later on it was quite smooth and challenging. I was highly excited on the outcome. Difficulties are invalid PR acceptance by the maintainer. I have seen lots of repos where I couldn't even run the application because of missing classes or methods. I had to contribute on new feature and also the existing bug. </p> <h3> Growth </h3> <p>Hacktoberfest is a great way of encouraging developers. I just needed some push from others to do something and here is the hacktoberfest for that. Initially I was little busy, I started late but when I started contributing it was not restrict to 4 PRs, I just continued to contribute on multiple repo's irrespective of challenges. It helped a lot in understanding others code and way of practicing clean code.</p> hack23contributor hacktoberfest hacktoberfest23
