- Project maintatiners will assign the issue to you if it's worthy and not repeated.
- While creating pull request mention the issue number in it.
The first step is to register yourself on the Hacktoberfest website using your Github account and sign up as a student.
Find the open source repositories which interest and go try to pick up issues which you can solve.If you don't find one and think you can improve the codebase create a issue stating the problem you want to solve using the proper guidelines. Once the issue is assigned to you, code away till you resolve the issue 🤓 . Once you are done with the coding create a pull request by following the proper CONTRIBUTING.md file given in the repository. If the repository doesn't have one, make a pull request following the accepted rules in the open source community 🤗
