PARTICIPATING IN HACKTOBERFEST

Here’s what you need to know to participate and complete Hacktoberfest

• Register anytime between September 26 and October 31.
• Pull requests can be made in any GitHub or GitLab hosted project that’s participating in Hacktoberfest (look for the “hacktoberfest” topic).
• Project maintainers must accept your pull/merge requests for them to count toward your total.
• The first 50,000 participants to have their first PR/MR accepted will have a tree planted in their name through Tree Nation.
• Participants with four pull/merge requests accepted between October 1 and October 31 will receive a unique digital reward.

PULL/MERGE REQUEST DETAILS

Here’s how we validate contributor pull/merge requests (“PR/MRs”) for Hacktoberfest.

[OUT-OF-BOUNDS] YOUR PR/MRS MUST BE WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF HACKTOBERFEST.

• Your PR/MRs must be created between October 1 and October 31 (in any time zone, UTC-12 thru UTC+14).
• Your PR/MRs must be made to a public, unarchived repository.

[EXCLUDED] REPOS THAT GO AGAINST HACKTOBERFEST’S VALUES WILL BE EXCLUDED FROM QUALIFICATION AND PR/MRS MADE TO THOSE REPOS WON’T COUNT.

• Found a repository that goes against the values of Hacktoberfest? Let us know and we’ll take a look.

[SPAM] YOUR PR/MRS MUST NOT BE SPAMMY.

PR/MRs that are labeled with a label containing the word “spam” by maintainers will not be counted.

• We use the Node.js 18 RegEx engine with /\bspam\b/i to look for spam labels.
• PR/MRs that also have the “hacktoberfest-accepted” label cannot be marked as spammy via a label.
• PR/MRs that have been merged and do not have a label containing the word “invalid” cannot be marked as spammy via a label.
• PR/MRs that our system detects as spammy will also not be counted.

Any user with two or more spammy PR/MRs will be disqualified.

[PARTICIPATING] YOUR PR/MRS MUST BE IN A REPO TAGGED WITH THE “HACKTOBERFEST” TOPIC, OR HAVE THE “HACKTOBERFEST-ACCEPTED” LABEL.

• Hacktoberfest is now opt-in for maintainers, so only contribute to projects that indicate they’re looking for Hacktoberfest PR/MRs.
• Once your PR/MR has passed this check, we won’t check this again (unless your PR/MR fails a check before this, such as it being marked as spammy).

[INVALID] YOUR PR/MRS MUST NOT BE LABELED AS “INVALID”.

• PR/MRs that have a label containing the word “invalid” won’t be counted, unless they also have the “hacktoberfest-accepted” label. Specifically, we use the Node.js 18 RegEx engine with /\binvalid\b/i to look for invalid labels.

[ACCEPTED] YOUR PR/MRS MUST BE MERGED, HAVE THE “HACKTOBERFEST-ACCEPTED” LABEL, OR HAVE AN OVERALL APPROVING REVIEW.

• Your PR/MR must not be a draft to be considered accepted.
• If your PR/MR is being accepted for Hacktoberfest via an overall approving review it must also not be closed.

ONCE YOUR PR/MRS PASS ALL THE CHECKS ABOVE, IT WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR HACKTOBERFEST AFTER THE SEVEN DAY REVIEW PERIOD.

• We continually evaluate all of the checks except the [participating] check. If it fails any of these checks during this time, the seven day timer will reset.
• After the seven day review period completes, your PR/MR will be automatically accepted for Hacktoberfest assuming it still passes all the checks. Once accepted for Hacktoberfest, we stop checking. :party:
