Hacktoberfest is an annual event that encourages people to contribute to open-source projects on platforms like GitHub. It usually takes place throughout the month of October. Participants are required to make a certain number of pull requests (code contributions) to open-source repositories to earn a limited-edition Hacktoberfest t-shirt or other rewards. It's a fun way for people to get involved in the open-source community, learn and improve their coding skills, and give back to the software development community.
