Logging in through your Github/Gitlab account allows Hacktoberfest to track your progress. You are required to:
- Make 4 succesful PRs in to a HactoberFest marked repository or need to have 'hacktoberfest-accepted' label to your PR.
- Pull Requests made between October 1st and October 31st (both dates included) will be counted.
- Do think to yourself what what are you contributing and where it fits. Currently there are 2 sub directories - Algorithms and Code. If what you're contributing does not fit in these two boxes then please make a new sub folder and put you code there.
- DO NOT PUT CODE IN THE MAIN DIRECTORY.
Every Pull Request goes through a "Maturing Period" of two weeks, so do be patient during that duration and to make the most of your time, AVOID SPAMMY PRs!!
