Hacktoberfest 2024

[eshellman]

"Hacktoberfest" is on our topics list, so all PRs to the repo are eligible for Hacktoberfest awards. Register at https://hacktoberfest.com/

As we get lots of submissions during Hacktoberfest, there are certain types of submissions that are not really welcome. For example, we can't do major reorganizations without causing merge conflicts. We don't want design or format changes or changes to our workflows as they can break other submissions.

We will be not be nice to spam submissions.

All the common problems with submissions relate to people who don't read https://github.com/EbookFoundation/free-programming-books/blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md

Remember that just because you can download something doesn't mean it's Free. We do NOT list unauthorized distributions or anything from file sharing sites.

Once Hacktoberfest begins, we probably won't have time to review any PRs that have failed tests, that have conflicts or that are set to "Draft".

Use this issue to pose general questions about the repo.

We are starting a new effort to add license notations. See #11355 for how to do it. This is a good way to get started with the repo!

@MOHDNEHALKHAN It's a good practice to submit different books on different PR's. That way problems with one book won't keep us from merging another book.

@eshellman , I have some cheat sheets that I just made while learning which are free and available on notion pages, if you agree with this then can I create PR to add cheat sheets in the ebook foundation see the link
GIT CHEATSHEET

[eshellman]

@MOHDNEHALKHAN Notion says it replaces google docs, and we don't list items on google docs. Part of this is we can't tell who owns the content.
