Hacktoberfest 2023

Hacktoberfest2023

What is Hacktoberfest?

Hacktoberfest, in its 9th year, is a month-long celebration of open source software run by DigitalOcean. During the month of October, we invite you to join open-source software enthusiasts, beginners, and the developer community by contributing to open-source projects. You can do this in a variety of ways:

  • Prepare and share your project for collaboration
  • Contribute to the betterment of a project via pull requests
  • Organize an event
  • Mentor others
  • Donate directly to open source projects

How Does it Work?

Hacktoberfest is open to everyone in our global community!

Maintainers determine if their open-source projects participate by adding the ‘hacktoberfest’ topic.

Quality pull requests submitted on GitHub and GitLab are rewarded.

Engaged maintenance of Hacktoberfest tagged repositories are rewarded.

Here's what you need to participate and complete Hacktoberfest:

  • Register anytime between September 26 and October 31
  • Pull requests can be made in any GITHUB or GITLAB hosted project that’s participating in Hacktoberfest (look for the “hacktoberfest” topic)
  • Project maintainers must accept your pull/merge requests for them to count toward your total
  • Have 4 pull/merge requests accepted between October 1 and October 31 to complete Hacktoberfest
  • The first 40,000 participants (maintainers and contributors) who complete Hacktoberfest can elect to receive one of two prizes: a tree planted in their name, or the Hacktoberfest 2023 t-shirt.

Pull/Merge Request Details

  • Your pr/mrs must be within the bounds of hacktoberfest.
  • Repos that go against hacktoberfest’s values will be excluded from qualification and pr/mrs made to those repos won’t count.
  • Your pr/mrs must not be spammy.
  • Your pr/mrs must be in a repo tagged with the “hacktoberfest” topic, or be labeled “hacktoberfest-accepted.”
  • Your pr/mrs must not be labeled as “invalid”.
  • Your pr/mrs must be merged, have the “hacktoberfest-accepted” label, or have an overall approving review.
  • Once your pr/mrs pass all the checks above, it will be accepted for hacktoberfest after the 7-day review period.
