Oppia is excited to be joining the rest of the GitHub community in participating this year's Hacktoberfest. This is an event where contributors will receive a free t-shirt if they submit at least 4 pull requests to any GitHub-hosted repository.
If you have any questions, feel free to send them to oppia-dev@.
Please follow these steps to get started:
- Sign up for Hacktoberfest
- Setup what you need to contribute to Oppia
- Find an issue to work on, though any starter project will count
- Fix the issue by creating some changes and sending a pull request for review
- Go through the code review process until you receive approval, then submit it!
- To earn a t-shirt: repeat until you've submitted 4 pull requests
Q: What is Hacktoberfest?
A: Hacktoberfest is an annual event across all of GitHub which is meant to encourage developers to contribute to open source projects.
Q: Must we only work on issues marked with the Hacktoberfest label?
A: Not necessarily! Any pull request will count toward your 4, even if you are fixing an issue that doesn't have the Hacktoberfest label. Issues with the Hacktoberfest label are just meant to provide some starter ideas for newcomers.
Q: Do pull requests need to have the Hacktoberfest label to count?
A: Nope! No information from GitHub or Digital Ocean seems to indicate that this is necessary.
