While the git repository itself is not hosted under GitHub, the Pro Git book, git for Windows, and git-scm website (at least) projects are, and could use this movement to get some more contributions, and eventually more maintainers (at least git-scm website had some maintainers problem some time ago). I've been helping on the git-scm repository (mostly filtering issues and PRs), and I know there are still some issues which need to be addressed. If the remaining maintainers agree, we could filter and provide more instructions to some easy (or not so easy) issues, adding the 'hacktoberfest' label and try to use this movement to solve some problems Probably, other repositories could also enjoy the opportunity. Here's the website: https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/ -- Thanks, Pedro ``` ## Jeff King, 2017-09-28 21:19 Subject: Re: hacktoberfest Message-ID: <20170928211859.uw7dep6gypsifivy@sigill.intra.peff.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20170928211859.uw7dep6gypsifivy%40sigill.intra.peff.net In-Reply-To: ``` On Wed, Sep 27, 2017 at 11:05:49PM +0100, pedro rijo wrote: > While the git repository itself is not hosted under GitHub, the Pro > Git book, git for Windows, and git-scm website (at least) projects > are, and could use this movement to get some more contributions, and > eventually more maintainers (at least git-scm website had some > maintainers problem some time ago). > > I've been helping on the git-scm repository (mostly filtering issues > and PRs), and I know there are still some issues which need to be > addressed.

I think one can probably find some low-hanging fruit by looking at the open issues list (though I'd be happy, too, if people with bug or feature suggestions opened new issues). Here are a couple small-to-moderate bugs that have been languishing: https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues/701 https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues/987 https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues/994 -Peff ``` ## pedro rijo, 2017-10-04 21:20 Subject: Re: hacktoberfest Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAPMsMoCCE%3Dtux5Pi%3DeC8_YtFb93TYOgrZdOS9CXnuLyRr%2B1v%3Dw%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20170928211859.uw7dep6gypsifivy@sigill.intra.peff.net> ``` seems my last answer was blocked due to HTML :( here's the answer: Seems a nice start yes. I've been on vacations, but next week I will go trough the current issues and add the hacktoberfest label to some issues if you agree. I went through the open issues a few moments ago. Some were closed (solved or not applicable anymore), and some got an hacktoberfest label, hoping new contributors pop up. Feel free to have a look and add new issues to the label, as well as remove some of those I thought it could be a good fit. There are easy issue, and some not so easy (not very hard, but a bit more work) probably. Issues labeled: https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Ahacktoberfest Thanks, Pedro 2017-09-28 22:19 GMT+01:00 Jeff King : > On Wed, Sep 27, 2017 at 11:05:49PM +0100, pedro rijo wrote: > >> While the git repository itself is not hosted under GitHub, the Pro >> Git book, git for Windows, and git-scm website (at least) projects >> are, and could use this movement to get some more contributions, and >> eventually more maintainers (at least git-scm website had some >> maintainers problem some time ago). >> >> I've been helping on the git-scm repository (mostly filtering issues >> and PRs), and I know there are still some issues which need to be >> addressed.
