Hello guys ,

here am going to share my personal experience about hacktoberfest . And what is hacktoberfest and what is pull request’s ? Why they are made ? Who is digital ocean ? Why git ? What is git ? …here we go … !

  1. What is open source ?

Open source products include permission to use the source code, design documents, or content of the product. It most commonly refers to the open-source model, in which open-source software or other products are released under an open-source license as part of the open-source-software movement.

2. How github is used ?

In my simpler terms … GitHub is a code hosting platform for version control and collaboration. It lets you and others work together on projects from anywhere. ... You first create your own Hello World repository and learn GitHub’s Pull Request workflow, a easy way to create and review code.

3.how github collaborate with digital ocean ? Digital ocean is a cloud computing vendor that offers an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform for software developers. ... DigitalOcean offers nine droplet sizes. The smallest size starts at 512MB of RAM with 1 CPU and 20GB of solid state drive (SSD) storage, and as of this writing costs $5 a month.

4. What is hacktoberfest ?

Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open source software run by DigitalOcean in partnership with GitHub and Twilio. Hacktoberfest is open to everyone in our global community!

5. What is a pull request ?

Pull requests let you tell others about changes you’ve pushed to a branch in a repository on GitHub. Once a pull request is opened, you can discuss and review the potential changes with collaborators and add follow-up commits before your changes are merged into the base branch.

6. Can i make my own pull request in my own repository ? Is it possible ? It will be accepted ?

Answer is obviously yes …! i made my pull request in my own repository . It’s a easier way and it will be comfortable . Since, it is my first year in hacktoberfest 6–7 pull request made in public Repo’s been rejected and atlast i made my own repository and made some of my requests and the request’s have been accepted . Generally hacktoberfest takes 7days to review your code and accordingly you will be selected 🙌

These are the lables of your code under which you will be evaluated .

7. Submission part .

Now , i have submitted the code and it has went for an review period and it took 7 days for review . And do know … what made it look cool ? The time period i.e review period that is been running in website particularly for your profile .!!!

This is the review period and you can see the time period running over there … that looks quite intresting and day by day you started watching your own code waiting for the review period .

8. Final part .

Once your code is been reviewed and got the successful you may see this . Congratulations message with the url to receive your goodies and schwags 😎

9. The end

Atlast you can fill the url directing you for the size of your T-shirt and the goodies yet to be received and it will sent a acknowledgement through your registered mail . The goodies will be shipped between 4–5 weeks . Since , it is been shipped from united states to india. If you took your time to read my first blog i thank you so much .

See you soon in next hacktoberfest 2020
