Httpx: Prepare for Hacktoberfest

[sethmlarson]

Information:

• https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/details

Recommendations for creating a good Hacktoberfest issue in your project:

● Apply the "Hacktoberfest" label to issues in your GitHub project that are ready for new contributors to work on.
● Add a CONTRIBUTING.md file with contribution guidelines to your repo.
● Choose issues that have a well-defined scope and are self-contained.
● Adopt a code of conduct to foster a greater sense of inclusion and community.

• [x] We should complete #311
• [x] Make sure all the issues within our tracker have enough scope to them for new contributors to be able to pick them up and run with them.
• [x] We should also get our coverage to 100% and then merge #380.
• [x] Hacktoberfest labels for issues that we believe can be taken up
• [x] Create new issues that we need to complete that aren't in our tracker yet
• [x] Write one (or more!) blog post(s) on DEV using the #hacktoberfest tag. See also the Hacktoberfest introduction post on DEV.

Hacktoberfest is co-presented by DEV this year. They’ve got a special #hacktoberfest hashtag and will be promoting it as well, probably on site and on Twitter. Source

I think it can be a cool idea to post something about HTTPX and a recap of our Hacktoberfest-friendly issues there! Could also include stuff about already contributed PRs, as highlights. I will gladly take that up!

[sethmlarson]

That's an awesome idea, I've been wanting to write a blog post about HTTPX on my DEV account too about what sets it apart. :)

Do you want to add an item to my list for the blog post?

[sethmlarson]

Coverage is at ~100%, or as close as we're going to get with our current setup. Reviewers should check codecov until the reports are showing up in PRs.

Removing the Hacktoberfest label to not confuse outside contributors.

Lol got me debating to help with that title lol

A first DEV post on HTTPX + Hacktoberfest has been published here:

HTTPX: Help Build The Future Of Python HTTP

[thebigmunch]

So, for my first Hacktoberfest PR, I submitted httpx to the awesome-python list. The template suggests that it needs some number of 👍 emotes to be added. So, if people would be so kind as to go to the pull request and give it a 👍, I'd love to see it added.

[florimondmanca]

Awesome, @thebigmunch!

Edit: shared on Twitter

I'm rdy to get this going it's been 10 years since I have shown my face lol

[sethmlarson]

Gonna close this issue as we're in full swing. :)
