FAQ :

Will I receive the T-shirt on the same day? No, the t-shirts will be provided Digital Ocean after a period of time. They will be sent to you directly.

What are the rules? To win a shirt, you must sign up on the Hacktoberfest site and make four pull requests on GitHub by October 31st. (Pull requests do not have to be merged and accepted; as long as they’ve been opened between the very start of October 1 and the very end of October 31, they count towards a free T-shirt.)

Where can I make pull requests? Pull requests can be made in any GitHub-hosted repositories/projects.

What if I don’t complete four pull requests by October 31st? Everyone who participates receives limited-edition Hacktoberfest stickers—regardless if you complete the four pull requests or not.
