Hacktober is Here 👻 [New to GitHub Check-in]

[queenofcorgis]

While the end of the month may bring trick or treating, the real treat is all month long with Hacktoberfest!

What is Hacktoberfest? Digitalocean’s annual event in its TENTH YEAR that celebrates open source contributions, giving back to projects that don’t have the resources to expand, and expanding your skills ✏️. There are ways to get involved even with low/non-code contributions as well.

If you’re new to the open source/development world this is a fun way to get started and explore what is out there! Sign up and get started.

🌟Community Superstars: A round of applause for these community citizens 👏

• @linuxlawson & @satilpereira: For both of their help in answering how to show language on your repository. Two heads are better than one 👯.
• @vishalkrishna8: For the refresher on how to get back into the swing of GitHub if you’ve been away for a moment. Your time spent on GitHub may come and go, but our community lending a helping hand is constant.
