Autumn is here, and for developers around the world, it comes with a celebration. Every October brings the **<a href="https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/" target="_blank">Hacktoberfest</a>**, an online event which is a month-long celebration of open-source software run by DigitalOcean in partnership with <a href="https://github.com/" target="_blank">GitHub</a> and <a href="https://www.twilio.com/" target="_blank">Twilio</a>. 


Are you a fan of open-source resources, too? The ideology of open-source is that everyone can contribute to making a better project. Therefore, the project becomes more accessible and more reliable as, sometimes, you can have tens of experts working on one project, guaranteeing quality.


We, at <a href="www.creative-tim.com?ref=devto" target="_blank">Creative Tim</a>, believe in the power of sharing and collaborating in order to develop a better web. **Therefore, this year, we are offering a special Creative Tim T-shirt for ten collaborators on our open-source 🎁** 

In the list below, we've gathered five of our open-source projects that are included in the Hacktoberfest 2021 event and can help you create quality pull requests and build on your open-source knowledge. Let's have a look!
