Hacktoberfest23: First Experience as a Project Maintainer

pypimo — Fri, 20 Oct 2023 11:43:52 +0000

Intro

This was my first time participating in hacktoberfest. After making 2 PRs in a repository that was excluded 😕 I decided to make one that would be easy for beginners and also adhere with the hacktoberfest guidelines 🙌

Project

I created a repository to contain the solutions for the CSES problemset in any programming language for each problem 🌐
I wrote a long, decriptive readme so that everyone despite their experience can start contributing 🤗

Growth

This really helped my documentation skills and also taught me how to write a good readme 💟 I took inspiration from a few other readme.md files and created my own version. This was a very simple project as it did not use any techstack and just needs a single file for contribution.
I resolve merge conflicts for the first time and that the whole month was really fun. 🍷💃

Hacktoberfest2023 Contributions

Intro

Hi everyone ✨
This was my 1st Hacktoberfest and I had a lot of fun 🎉
You can also check out my contributions on my github account and even get to know about more hacktoberfest-accepted repositories!

Growth

Since this was my first time contributing, I contributed to simple small projects. 👼 I used languages I was already familiar with, and used them to create something I hadn't done before like CSS Animations.

Highs and Lows

I really wanted to get a tree planted in my name so I quickly made my first PR on the first day of October, only to find that the repository was excluded from the challenge as it did not obey hacktoberfest's guidelines 😔

But I am glad I didn't give up 😊, made my 4PRs and was also among the first 50,000 participants to make the first PR 😎

Finding quality repositories and the ones that would match my skillset was challenging for sure 🏋️‍♀️. But at the end I had a lot of fun learning all this stuff and finally completing the challenge. 🎇🥂
