What I Learned From Hacktoberfest
Hey folks!
Here I'm going to share my experience with hacktoberfest 2020. Okay, I'll start from the beginning where I heard about hacktoberfest at first. My first impression of hacktoberfest happened at the ''Open Hack Day event 2019'' at NSBM Green University. That was the first time I participated in an open-source event. In that event I got the opportunity and guidance on how to contribute to open-source, how to work with Git/GitHub.
During the event, I was able to figure out how to participate to hacktoberfest. So the best part of the story is, that I couldn't make the pull requests on-site because I didn't take a laptop with me. That gave me a big motivation to go home and study about this Newly heard month-long open-source celebration.
Somehow within a week, I learned git/GitHub which is really amazing, and made my 4 pull requests to participate in the hacktoberfest 2019. After that, I was so curious about this opensource thing. So I decided to continue. And I was waiting for the Hacktoberfest2020 event.
oh! It's here.. for today, I've completed the hacktoberfest2020 challenge and claimed the swag also. It was so nice to collaborate with new projects and other developers all around the world. This time I was focus on web-based projects written using mostly javascript. And I contributed some other C# projects as well.
So Freshers, If you are looking for an opportunity to bump into open-source, Hacktoberfest is the ideal place to start off with. Trust me this Hacktoberfest thing changed my life. It was a huge turning point in my life as a fresh undergraduate at that time.
So guys contribute and make an impact to make the techno world a better one. I'll put links to some tutorials that I took when I bumped into open-source below.
