## What is Hacktoberfest? 🤔
“Hosted by DigitalOcean for the 8th year in a row, Hacktoberfest encourages participation in giving back to the open-source community by completing pull requests, participating in events, and donating to open source projects.”

At [Hacktoberfest](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/), whoever feels the desire to make positive changes and have an impact on the open-source community can join the global event regardless of skill level or background. Now this **month-long event throughout October** gives you the chance to contribute to the open-source codebase of Bitrise. 🚀

## How to join? 👨🏻‍💻
We’ve prepared everything for you to make sure you have a seamless Bitrise Hacktoberfest experience.

You can sign up anytime between October 1 and October 31. Be sure to **sign up on the official Hacktoberfest website for your pull requests to count!**

2. 🍒 Pick a challenge from our list: Visit the [Github project](https://github.com/orgs/bitrise-steplib/projects/3) we’ve put together with all the exciting tasks you can help with, labeled with the Hacktoberfest tag. These are mostly bug fixes, performance or UI improvements, or minor enhancements.
