To earn your tree reward, you must register and make four valid pull requests (PRs) between October 1-31 in any time zone. Pull requests can be made in any participating GitHub-hosted repositories/projects.
Contributions aren't limited to code – we welcome contributions to documentation, design, translations, bug reports and more! If you're new to open source or interested in contributing, this repository is a great place to start. If you're an experienced open-source contributor, feel free to check out these issues and contribute.
