HacktoberFest Experience as Contributor

Intro
hi,This is the first time i have participated on open source hackathon . For the past few months i have been trying to start open source contributions , hacktoberfest2023 provided with and opportunity to start open source journey.

Highs and Lows
The biggest issue is finding new repository which is actively maintained and contributing to it. I got a better understanding of using GitHub and how to contribute

So any contirbutor looking taking part in Hacktoberfest.

  • always check the last commit merged to get idea if mainter is active or not

  • before jumping to issue go through the contributor.md file and work on issue accordingly some repos have strict rules others don't.

These two points will save u from making PR that won't get merged.

Thank you

💖 💪 🙅 🚩
