How Do You Do?
Here’s how you can participate:
➡️ Step 1: Choose an Issue
Visit Taipy GitHub Repository.
Look for issues tagged with "hacktoberfest" and choose the issue that best matches your skills and interests.
| Difficulty | Number of points | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | 100 💎 | Beginner-friendly issues |
| Intermediate | 200 💎💎 | Mid-level tasks |
| Advanced | 300 💎💎💎 | Challenging tasks for experienced coders |
➡️ Step 2: Fork the Repository
Once you’ve selected an issue, start by forking the Taipy repository to your GitHub account. This creates a copy of the repository that you can work on without affecting the original codebase.
git clone https://github.com/YourGitHubUsername/taipy.git
➡️ Step 3: Clone Your Fork Locally
After forking, clone the repository to your local machine by running the following command in your terminal:
git checkout -b issue-#<issue-number>-description
➡️ Step 4: Create a New Branch
Always create a new branch for your work. It’s good practice to name your branch based on the issue you're working on. For example:
git checkout -b bug/#<issue#>-comment
➡️ Step 5: Work on the Issue
Start coding and solving the issue! Follow the guidelines mentioned in the issue, and make sure to test your changes locally. If you have any questions, feel free to ask for help in the issue’s comment section or reach out to our community.
➡️ Step 6: Commit & Push Your Changes
Once you’re satisfied with your work, commit your changes and push the branch to your fork:
git add
git commit -m "description of the fix"
git push origin your-branch-name
➡️ Step 7: Submit a Pull Request (PR)
Go back to the original Taipy repository. You’ll see an option to submit a pull request. Make sure your PR description clearly references the issue you worked on and provides a brief explanation of what you fixed.
Important Guidelines to Follow
- Stick to the issues labeled "hacktoberfest" and with a difficulty tag to ensure they count towards the event.
- Do not submit PRs on newly created issues unless they have been approved by the Taipy team.
Follow these simple rules to ensure your contributions are counted, and you'll be on your way to grabbing that cool swag! 🎁

Great article @rym_michaut
Thank you for putting together this guide, @rym_michaut !!
We at Interledger Foundation are participating in Hacktoberfest for the third year, and we invite you all to join the next evolution in payments through Interledger, the modern way for sending payments.
The Interledger Foundation aims to enhance access to digital financial services by advocating for the adoption of an open-source currency network powered by the Interledger Protocol (ILP). Moreover, it actively collaborates with historically marginalized groups to fulfil this mission.
A few Interledger repositories that are participating in Hacktoberfest
Open Payments is an open API standard that can be implemented by account servicing entities (e.g. banks, digital wallet providers, and mobile money providers) to facilitate interoperability in the setup and completion of payments for different use cases including:

This includes:
