We are using a very simple language called Markdown to format this list. It’s basically a way to make things look pretty without having to use a rich text editor. Please familiarize yourself with Markdown using this handy cheat sheet provided by GitHub
If you are adding a new company, be sure to add your company in two places:
Find the first letter of your company within the list, then add your information in the correct alphabetical order by using the following Markdown formatting:
#### **Company Name**
- **Swag**: (T-shirt, stickers, etc)
- **Requirements**: (What do I have to complete? Are there different requirements per swag item? Are the PRs merged or just submitted?)
- **How to sign up**: (Link to signup page using inline formatting of [text](URL))
- **Issues**: Optional (link to Hacktoberfest tagged issues)
- **Notes**: (If needed, otherwise write N/A)
If you don’t see a letter heading for your company, please add it! Use the Markdown formatting to do so:
### A
Also add your company information to the correct section for this list. So far, the involvement scale is the following:
If your involvement requirements are a bit different or do not fit into this scale, feel free to create another level in the scale! Use the same Markdown formatting as a letter heading:
### Another Involvement Level
Depending on your involvement requirements, place your company within the appropriate section.
This section of the list will follow a slightly different set of formatting in order to make the requirements more prominent:
#### **Company Name** (swag earned at this level)
- **Requirements**: If the company only offers one type of swag, then state the requirements here
- If they offer multiple levels of swag, then record this particular swag item here as an indented bullet point
- **Swag**: (T-shirt, stickers, etc)
- **How to sign up**: (Link to signup page using inline formatting of [text](URL))
**Issues**: Optional (link to Hacktoberfest tagged issues)
- **Notes**: (If needed, otherwise write N/A)
If you have multiple types of swag for different involvement levels, be sure to add two separate entries for each individual piece of swag earned! For example, Operation Code has two types of swag earned at different levels:
For each piece of swag, a separate entry was added at the appropriate involvement levels:
1. For the stickers and a handwritten note only (placed at 1 Merged PR level):
#### **Operation Code** (Stickers, handwritten note)
- **Requirements**:
- Stickers and a handwritten note: Simply get a pull request merged!
- **Swag**: T-shirt, handwritten note, stickers
- **How to sign up**: We're tracking it manually and will comment you a Google form.
- **Notes**: See the pinned repositories [here](https://github.com/OperationCode). You can find out more information about our all-volunteer, non-profit organization and our social media accounts via [our website](https://operationcode.org/).
2. For the T-Shirt only (placed at 2 or more Merged PRs level):
#### **Operation Code** (T-shirt)
- **Requirements**:
- T-shirt: Resolve 3 issues.
- **Swag**: T-shirt, handwritten note, stickers
- **How to sign up**: We're tracking it manually and will comment you a Google form.

Note that the requirements have been edited for clarity, only showing the requirements for that type of swag and moved to the first bullet point. Also, the swag type is placed in parentheses after the company name to understand what is being earned at each level. 😊
This little project costs ~ $20/year to run between the domain name and Netlify costs. If you want to chip in a dollar for just the month of October, I’ll be very grateful! You can Sponsor the project through GitHub here. Thank you!
