Join us for Hacktoberfest 2022 by contributing to StepZen

Hacktoberfest 2022 is about to start! Join us for the latest edition of Hacktoberfest by contributing to StepZen. We're looking for contributors to help us create new integrations and improve existing ones. Contributors will receive limited StepZen goodies and Hacktoberfest swag.

Hacktoberfest 2022

Hacktoberfest is a celebration of open-source software. It's a month-long event that takes place every October. The goal of Hacktoberfest is to encourage developers to contribute to open-source projects. Hacktoberfest is open to everyone in our global community. You can sign up anytime between September 26 and October 31 via the Hacktoberfest website.

Everyone that signs up for Hacktoberfest here has to make four pull requests (PRs) to public repositories on GitHub (or Gitlab). You can make pull requests to any public repository on GitHub with issues labeled hacktoberfest. Once approved and merged by the repository maintainers, your pull requests count towards your Hacktoberfest goals.

If you complete four pull requests in October, you'll receive a free Hacktoberfest t-shirt and a limited edition Hacktoberfest 2022 sticker pack. You can find more information about Hacktoberfest on the Hacktoberfest website.

Contribute to StepZen

StepZen is participating in Hacktoberfest, and you can contribute by adding a new integration or improving an existing integration in our Examples repository. Every PR to this repository will count towards your Hacktoberfest goals.

In this repository, you'll find two things:

  • Examples of how to use StepZen to build a GraphQL API by integrating with databases or external APIs.
  • Usage of a StepZen API in a (frontend) application.

We're looking for contributors to help us create new integrations and improve existing ones. You can find a list of integrations that we're looking for in the issues for the repository, including a list of improvements to existing integrations. But we encourage you also to open a new issue and PR for other integrations.

Next to being eligible for the official Hacktoberfest, we'll ship StepZen goodies to contributors. Read the contributing guidelines before creating a PR.

Keep an eye out for new features and more integrations on our Twitter page and Discord community.
