8. Star this repository 🌟

Here is a quick reference guide for GitHub: GitHub Guide

[!TIP] Aim to make more than 4 pull requests. Imagine you've only made 4 pull requests to different projects, but one of those projects isn't part of the Hacktoberfest event. In that case, your pull request won't be counted, leaving you with just 3 valid ones if those projects aren't excluded either. To ensure your success, I recommend making a pull request to your own repo, as long as it has the Hacktoberfest topic.

Wait for Pull Request to merge

Celebrate - you've done your first pull request!!
