🎮 Open Source Playground

This repo is part of Hacktoberfest 2025 — contributions welcome! 🎉

📖 Translations: Português (Brasil)

Welcome to your friendly gateway to the world of open source contributions! 🌟

This repository is specifically designed for Hacktoberfest participants and newcomers who want to learn Git, GitHub workflows, and make their first open source contributions in a safe, welcoming environment.

🎯 What is this project?

Open Source Playground is a beginner-friendly repository where you can:

• Practice forking, cloning, and creating pull requests

• Add your name to our contributors list

• Contribute simple "Hello World" programs in your favorite programming language

• Learn Git commands and workflows without fear of breaking anything

• Connect with other developers starting their open source journey

• How It Works During the month of October, participants are encouraged to submit at least four pull requests (PRs) to any public repository tagged with the “Hacktoberfest” label. These contributions can be anything from fixing bugs and improving documentation to adding new features or even enhancing project design and accessibility.

Once participants complete the challenge, they are eligible to receive limited-edition Hacktoberfest swag (like a T-shirt or digital badge) as a token of appreciation. Over the years, the event has also emphasized sustainability—offering participants the choice to plant a tree instead of receiving physical swag.

Hacktoberfest has grown into a global movement, with thousands of developers from all backgrounds participating. It’s not just about code—it’s about community, mentorship, and making technology more inclusive and accessible.
