# COEP's Hacktoberfest Repository

## Update [2020]

While our initial aim was to give some Git hands-on practice to undergraduate students with Hacktoberfest incentives, we understand their [decision](https://github.com/ASCI-COEP/hacktoberfest/issues/247) to have only organic open source contributions count towards Hacktoberfest's 4 pull requests requirement. **Hence, contributions to this repository won't count starting 2020.** We are keeping this repository alive as a record of participation.

## Introduction

Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration to encourage developers to use and contribute to open source projects.
Continuing with the tradition, this year hacktoberfest is happening from 1st to 31st October, 2019.

## Details

By contributing to open source, in terms of 4 pull requests, you get a limited edition hacktoberfest T-shirt and stickers shipped to your address by Digital Ocean.

## How can I participate?

This repository is for you to practice contributing to open source projects and earn a hacktoberfest T-shirt in the process. Write an implementation of your favorite algorithm in the programming language of your choice and submit a pull request to this repository. If you need any ideas, check out the [issues page](https://github.com/yashjakhotiya/coephacktoberfest/issues)!

Issues page is just for your reference. You are encouraged to submit implementation of *your* choice of algorithm in any programming language.

Simultaneously, register yourself on the [Hacktoberfest Website](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/). Click on the 'Start Hacking' button and fill in the required details. When you complete 4 pull requests, get ready for an awesome hacktoberfest T-shirt for you to show-off!
