It's October 21, so you probably know what is Hacktoberfest, even if you are a newbie.
But just in case, here is the short:
Hacktoberfest it a month when all devs come together to contribute 4 PRs to Open Source projects to get a free T-shirt lol
Anyways, so I got 2 PRs in and was struggling to find good projects then Yesterday I started a #discuss here asking for help, so this post is based on the answer I got there and my experience so far, and I hope it can help other beginners on my position.
First. I had no idea but I learned that PR's on your own projects count, yey.
Second. You can always go on GitHub and search for good-first-bugs and sort by language, but I felt overwhelmed doing that, so I personally don't recommend it.
Third. Go check projects that you thing are cool and that maybe you would like to work with beyond Hacktoberfest.
So basically what I am doing is, contributing to 2 projects I would like to work with in the future, one with a small JS enhancement and the other with a little HTML change. My last 2 probably will be some update on some of My repos on gitHub, since I have lots of those lol
Fell free to start a issue on my very simple but cool Harry Potter app
Hope this post can be of help to some,
now let me go back to those PR's.
Have a good week you all!
