Posted on Oct 4 In the first days of October, I participated in my first Hacktoberfest. The primary objective of this event is to contribute to open-source projects and have your pull requests (PRs) approved and merged.For me, it has been a learning experience. Initially, I aimed to tackle a small issue, but it took quite some time to find a one I can do to get familiar with contributing. However, I was pleased to see the high level of activity among all participants. As I complete my PR, I plan to take on more challenging tasks to further my learning.For my initial contribution I worked on the Would-You-Bot Website repository. On issue 48. This issue involved creating a Contribution Guidelines document to help new contributors understand how to get involved with the project.You can find my PR hereTo complete this task, I first reviewed the project's files to locate any useful issue/PR templates and guidelines that new contributors might not be aware of. I added them as links within the document to ensure easy access in one place. Additionally, I took inspiration from how other projects structured their contribution guidelines.Dominik K, the code owner, provided valuable feedback for improving the document.I must admit, seeing my work integrated into someone else's project is an incredible feeling! Now, I'm looking to discover more projects to contribute to. Templates let you quickly answer FAQs or store snippets for re-use. Are you sure you want to hide this comment?
