πŸ“ˆ Top 7 open source repos from Hacktoberfest global leaderboards πŸš€βœ¨

Hi friends πŸ‘‹

Who are the top 100 repos, organisations and contributors for this edition of Hacktoberfest?

If you have not followed our previous articles, we have built a hacktoberfest leaderboard.

Supporting developers to find great repos to contribute to sits at the very heart of our product. That’s why we joined in on the fun this year with this special Hacktoberfest leaderboard. You can use this leaderboard to track who makes it to the top. 😏
