I'm Sourabh Sharma, and I'm excited to share my journey during my first Hacktoberfest! I've been an active member of the GitHub community since the end of August, and this festival has been an incredible learning experience for me.
This month has been a rollercoaster of learning and growth. I was at home after a frustrating semester, and I suddenly found myself with a lot of free time. It was during this time that I randomly opened my GitHub profile and decided to make some changes. I made around 4 contributions, which included forking repositories, creating issues, and sending pull requests.
It was my first time doing these things, and I must admit, it felt a bit overwhelming at first. But I quickly fell in love with the process. I'm eager to explore more and work even harder.
'm grateful for this incredible experience, and I look forward to more opportunities to learn and grow as a developer. These small steps are just the beginning of an exciting journey.

Thanks so much for participating in this year's event. By the way, you can refer to this post for full contributor completion instructions.
Could you share all the process and projects? I would like to start contributing but I do not find the way that fits with me 🤔🤔
Process:
1.Create a GitHub account.
2.register to hacktober 2023 official website and authorise your GitHub account .
hacktober official link: hacktoberfest.com/
3.Search for projects with "hacktober-accepted" and "hacktober-2023" tags on GitHub and Look through the list of repositories and select one that aligns with your interests and the technologies you are familiar with. This will make it easier for you to contribute effectively.
4.Fork a project you're interested in.
5.Clone it to your local machine using GitHub Desktop.
6.Find an issue in the project to work on.
7.Make your contribution, following project guidelines.
8.Commit, push, and create a Pull Request (PR) on GitHub.
Once approved, your contribution will be merged into the project.
I meant the proccess you followed, which project you choose, why, how you found how to contribute and that kind of stuff. The general proccess I have read it multiple times, just asked for something more... personal, more... "bloggy" thing. At least that was what I was looking for when I found Dev.to XD
Go on hacktober-2023 official webpage all given details are very easy. even in my beginning they helped me a lot . just go and register and authorize your github account . and do not worry you have to merge only four pull request and try to choose project that you find suitable according to tech and have mentioned tag I get it just by exploring a little bit more.
In the worst case scenario, out of the 7 pull requests 3 may not get merged , you still have four . and the basic thing is that I am beginner ,I try to explore and get idea.
Way to go!! 🥳 🥳
Thank you, and best wishes to you! 🌟😊
