This is especially stupid of the spamming participants. If you so desire a t-shirt and don’t want to make any meaningful contributions, just make your own BS repo and make your own BS pull requests.
I intended to make meaningful contributions last year and accidentally hit the quota just by making PRs to my own projects.
- miguendes 6y agoI think PRs for own repos are not allowed. Unless they create a fake account to contribute to.
- kej 6y agoPersonal repos have worked in the past, as long as they're public.
- MrMorden 6y agoThe first user I looked at from the repository mentioned in the article did all of the above. Spam PRs in someone else’s repo, spam PRs in their own (fake) repo, spam PRs in a sock puppet’s (also fake) repo. The only thing they haven’t tried is writing a legitimate PR.
- josepmdc 6y agoYes they are, I did contributions to my own projects and they counted. At least last year.
- hcho3 6y agoFrom https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/faq https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/faq: > Do pull requests made on my own repositories count? > Yes, but we strongly encourage you to make quality contributions to other repositories.
