Hacktoberfest is an annual month-long celebration of open source software, organized by DigitalOcean in partnership with GitHub. It encourages contributions to open source projects by offering exciting rewards to participants.
During the month of October, individuals are invited to contribute to open source projects on GitHub. To be eligible for rewards, participants must make a minimum of four valid pull requests to any public repository. This is a great opportunity for both beginners and experienced developers to get involved in the open source community.
