Hacktoberfest is an annual worldwide event held during the month of October. It encourages open source developers to contribute to repositories through pull requests (PR). If you’re interested in participating, you can find projects to contribute to, add the ‘hacktoberfest’ tag to your projects, or familiarize yourself with Git & github.
