Hi there,
Currently, we only support pull requests on GitHub for Hacktoberfest and haven't worked with other platforms so far but would love to in the future. We welcome our community to encourage platforms to reach out if they're interested.
Hope that helps, happy hacking!
Hi there,
Yes! The swag redemption page should include previews of the shirt before you choose it (or you can choose a tree instead!).
Hope that helps, happy hacking!
Hi there,
When you win Hacktoberfest by submitting four valid pull requests, you can either claim a Hacktoberfest 2020 t-shirt, or instead, you can opt to have a tree planted in a forest on your behalf to help combat climate change.
Hope that helps, happy hacking!
