hackathons VS github-docs

After you've found the project you'd like to work on, make sure it has the hacktoberfest label under topics. You'll find this on the repo's home page under "About". For example, this is the About section for the GitHub Hackathons repo:

Hackathons. Online resource with tips and tricks on running a hackathon.

In college, an English professor would ask me and other students the following question when reviewing our essays, “Where are the examples?” Developers ask the same question when reading your documentation. To write good technical writing documents, include examples that developers can see themselves implementing in their work. How can this be done? By adding examples from your product’s codebase! 🙂 Let’s look at this code snippet from my contribution to GitHub’s documentation:

Need an example? Check the GitHub docs contributing guide.

git clone https://github.com/github/docs.git 123.57s user 37.02s system 74% cpu 3:35.73 total

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/github/docs.git 3.37s user 1.83s system 35% cpu 14.521 total

Not a scientific test at all, but the second one was literally 35x faster, wall clock time.

Docs

The strange thing is that I only have this problem with github, all other websites work just fine. And even docs.github.com works fine...

A project repository typically has a license file at the top-level indicating which license the code falls under. See here for an example license file.
