Race of Sloths Onboarding ☄️

Race of Sloths is a GitHub bot-user that helps open-source contributors collect Sloth Points while contributing to projects on GitHub.

1. Follow your regular GitHub flow: Create a regular PR (example)
2. Tag @race-of-sloths user in the description (or PR comment)
3. The user will respond to you and ask the repo maintainer to review your PR and score your PR
4. Now you are part of the Race! You are one of the Sloths (learn more about the irony behind the naming here)

Why?

It is a fun game to play with your fellow engineers Sloths and there are some thematic events with conference tickets giveaways, swag, and even money rewards.

Try it out in this repository! 🚀
