    Repo for you to raise a Pull Request for practice

  • BioDrop: In this repository, all you have to do is add your name to a list. It’s a great way to learn how to do a Pull Request.

  • vc-preptember

    A repo for Virtual Coffee members to practice open source and to list VC-verified repositories.

  • Virtual Coffee: In this project, you add your name and a list of open source projects you recommend for Hacktoberfest. They provide specific steps to look out for in open source projects. It’s a great way to learn the traits of a healthy open source project. Since I’ve been contributing to open-source projects a bit before Preptember, I decided to list projects that have been helpful in my journey. (note: you have to join their group in order to contribute. Here’s a link: https://virtualcoffee.io/).

    Discontinued Farmhub is website for all the farmers where you can buy any farming stuff easily. It's like a wikipedia and amazon for FARMERS.

  • If you want to contribute to big projects like Microsoft or Drupal on your portfolio, feel free. However, if you want to increase your chances of getting your contributions reviewed and merged, I highly recommend aiming for smaller projects. Smaller open source projects tend not to get as crowded as others, which means you might get a higher chance of your contribution being reviewed and merged at a quick pace. As a contributor, I wanted to use Hacktoberfest as an opportunity to work with YAML files for open source projects. Luckily for me, I have been talking to Arshad Khan about this on X(Twitter), so I created greetings YAML files for their projects, FarmHub, Curls, and Tindog. It was a bit of a learning curve as the greetings won’t go through, but after reading that permissions: write-all is helpful in making third-party greetings work, I added that to the files, and bam, my PRs got merged! Hold on, before, you rush off to make Pull Requests, there’s just one strategy that I want to share with you.
