The Hacktoberfest 2020 Challenge Completed

Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open-source software. It happens every year in October. During this event, everyone can support open-source by contributing changes and then earn limited-edition swag. The main idea of this event is to promote open source contributions around the world.

And yesterday, I received my package of the limited-edition swag for 4 successful pull requests:
