About Hacktober and The Turing Way

Hacktober is a month long celebration of Open Source Projects where the goal is to make 4 Pull Requests during the month.

A bit about Git

If you’re new to git then here are some instructions to help you get going. Remember that you can ask us any questions you need to along the way.

A Pull Request (what Hacktober is measured on) lets you tell others about changes you've pushed to a branch in a repository on GitHub. Once a pull request is opened, you can discuss and review the potential changes with collaborators and add follow-up commits before your changes are merged into the base branch.

Under the Issues listed in our Hacktober tag, we’ve outlined what needs to be done, and how you can go about addressing it. Once the Issue has been addresses, you can submit a Pull Request for review (tell us what you’ve done) and we can incorporate it into The Turing Way.

We’ve also created this special Hacktoberfest tag to make is easy for you to find places to contribute if you’re new.

In the spirit of Hacktoberfest, please only do a few of these to submit your PR so that we can learn and grow as a community together.
