First of all, my mother tongue is Chinese so this post may have some grammar errors or not and thanks for your consideration.

Many of my friends start learning front-end skills since they simply find out coding is funny, and they also eager to know how to do some contributions to open source project.

However, Pull Request this method seems unfamiliar with them and that’s one of the reason why I wanna write down this tiny cheatsheet.

Learning by doing can help you realize one thing much more efficiently, and so do contributions for open source. Fortunately, annual Hacktoberfest is a friendly way for beginners to start their journey for OSS. You can even obtain free stickers & T-shirt from Github as long as you contribute at least four Pull Requests in October.

You have to sign up with your Github account above all：

Last but not the least, I do really learn a lot of skills and knowledge from open source community, and most important of all: Taken from Open Source/ Give back to Open Source . Enjoy it.
