October is a special month for developers around the globe—it’s time for Hacktoberfest, the annual, month-long celebration of open source!
Every year, maintainers and contributors come together to push open source contributions across many different projects, create new community networks, and have a lot of fun along the way.
Open source has always been at the core of Very Good Ventures. From maintaining our own projects to collaborating with other companies, we’ve always been committed to giving back to the community.
This year, we’re excited to take part in Hacktoberfest once again by including some of our most impactful repositories in the event.
Very Good CLI
Probably our biggest open source project right now, Very Good CLI provides ready-to-use templates, giving developers a head start when creating new projects, as well as a variety of utility commands for day-to-day tasks.
Very Good Templates
This library of templates for a wide range of projects powers Very Good CLI in the commands where new projects are generated.
Very Good Workflows
A collection of Github Actions with many different types of workflows for developers to create robust CI checking, following the best practices and standards that we apply ourselves in our own projects.
How to Contribute
Participating is simple!
First, be sure to get familiar with the participation guide on the official Hacktoberfest site.
Then, check out the repositories for issues that you're interested in working on, and take a look at their labels—the ones marked "Good First" are always the best ones to get started with.
Finally, once you choose an issue, send us a PR and we'll review it and work together with you to get it landed.
Remember: Hacktoberfest is about learning, collaborating, and having fun while giving back to the open source community. Whether you’re fixing bugs, adding features, or improving docs, every contribution matters.
If you need any help, don't hesitate to comment on the issues in the repositories.
Let’s all have a very good Hacktoberfest together!
