Manav Rachna University Hacktober Fest 2021
- Manav Rachna University hosting an online event Project MRU (Hacktoberfest 2021) brought to you by DigitalOcean in partnership with Dev & Intel — is a month-long celebration of open-source software.
- Maintainers are invited to guide would-be contributors towards issues that will help move the project forward, and contributors get the opportunity to give back to both projects they like and others they've just discovered.
- Step1: Sign up on the Hacktoberfest site. To qualify for the official limited edition Hacktoberfest shirt, you must register and make four pull requests between October 1-31.
- Step2: After the first step, join our Discord Server for further event details..
- Connect with other Hacktoberfest participants by using @DigitalOcean, @hacktoberfest, #hacktoberfest on your social media platform of choice.
- To earn your Hacktoberfest tee or tree reward, you must register and make four valid pull requests (PRs) between October 1-31 (in any time zone).
- PRs can be made to any public repo on GitHub, not only the ones with issues labeled Hacktoberfest.
- If a maintainer reports your pull request as spam or behavior not in line with the project’s code of conduct, you will be ineligible to participate.

Add a hello_world_yourusername.xx
script to the Scripts
directory in any language of your choice! Here is an example:
// LANGUAGE: Python
// AUTHOR: c0sm0s
// GITHUB: https://github.com/minnonymous
print('Hello, python!')
Name the file hello_world_yourusername.xx
. e.g., hello_world_minnonymous.py
In line with Hacktoberfest value #2 (Quantity is fun, quality is key), we have provided examples of pull requests that we consider to be low-quality contributions (which we discourage).
- Pull requests that are automated (e.g. scripted opening pull requests to remove whitespace/fix typos/optimize images).
- Pull requests that are disruptive (e.g. taking someone else's branch/commits and making a pull request).
- Pull requests that are regarded by a project maintainer as a hindrance vs. helping.
Something that's clearly an attempt to simply +1 your pull request count for October. Last but not least, one pull request to fix a typo is fine, but 5 pull requests to remove a stray whitespace is not.
- coming soon!
