Scaler Open Source September Challenge Year 2023

What is the Scaler Open Source September Challenge?

Every day throughout September, for those who have enrolled, we will share one task.  Participants will need to use their knowledge of Git and GitHub for each task, and the difficulty level of the tasks will rise daily.

The primary objective? To help the community become better at contributing to open source and building projects.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Learn how to contribute to open-source projects. Learn the basics of creating issues, pull requests, Git, and GitHub
  2. Celebrate with new rewards every time you reach a milestone!

How to participate?

Prerequisite Steps:

Step 1

Join the Scaler Discord Server.

We have a dedicated forum channel for the Open Source September Challenge called #open-source-sep.

We have a dedicated post that is pinned to the top of the channel called Open Source September Challenge - Announcements and Help Desk. This channel will serve as the primary source of information for the challenge - all announcements will be posted here.

You can join our Discord and the forum channel using this link: https://bit.ly/OpenSourceSep_.

Accept the challenge by filling out this form if you haven't already: https://forms.gle/XHitNoHqiGhxeW7WA

Step 2

If you haven't already, create an account on Github, and brush up on your skills in Git and Github.

Step 3

Create a new forum post in the forum channel ##open-source-sep with the title as - challenger-<yourname>-<DiscordUsername>

For example, if your name is John Doe and your Discord Username is john#1234, your post title should be challenger-john-doe-john#1234

You can drop a message like I accept the challenge.

How to compete in the challenge?

Step 1

Head to the official Scaler Open Source September Challenge repository. Star it.

Keep track of the repository, as a new task will be added every day.

Please go through the task for that day and solve it.

The task will be shared at 11 AM IST every day. You will have 24 hours to solve the task for that day.

Step 2

Once you have solved the task, post a screenshot/link of the completion on your individual forum post created in the pre-requisites section with a text stating: I have completed the task for #<day>.

We recommend that you celebrate your successful completion of the task by sharing it with the community.

Here's a sample post:
