Floating shark 🦈 🎈
Enter the following command in your terminal to see - ascii art of a shark floating in the air with a balloon shaped like a heart ❤ and telling you DO Love in 3D letters!
curl -s https://hacktoberfest.com/profile/ | head -n40 | tail -n40 | tail -n39
Note: Ensure that you have curl installed. Install it with
sudo apt install curlorbrew install curlif you are on macOS.
I had to pipe the curl request with a bunch of head and tail commands just to capture the ASCII Art of the shark.
Even cooler 🌈
Pipe the above command with lolcat to see the shark in rainbow colors!
curl -s https://hacktoberfest.com/profile/ | head -n40 | tail -n40 | tail -n39 | lolcat
Note: Ensure that you have lolcat -
brew install lolcat
It will look something like this -
You could also simply view the shark by visiting Hacktoberfest profile and check the console from dev tools.
Progress report
You can see the progress report of your PRs by visiting Hacktoberfest profile. Initially, the status of your PRs will be 0/4 and as you do more PRs, the status will change to 1/4, 2/4 and so on. If you have done all 4 PR and kept doing more PRs, the status will look something like this - 4 + .. /4. Currently, I have completed all 4 PRs and have done 1 more PRs. The status looks like this - 4 + 1 /4.
Dark mode
I haven't participated in Hacktoberfest before but I have heard that there were only white t-shirts available. This year, you can choose between a white or dark t-shirt.
Dev badge
Dev has a special and unique-looking badge for every Hacktoberfest. Once you completed 4 PRs, you will be rewarded with a special badge along with this message.
The badge of this year looks fascinating -
Holopin
I quite often enjoy messing with my badge board in Holopin, this board lets me pin my badges and present the Hacktoberfest achievements I have made. Holopin got introduced this year along with Hacktoberfest and if you had an account, you would get a unique badge for each PR you made. This was one of the encouraging factors for me to do more PRs.
The badge board looks like this -
You can adjust the badges by Shift + Click and Drag to move them around or Command + Click to rotate. They also provide a Markdown code to embed the badge board in your README.md file.
palpatine
I have been developing a CLI tool called palpatine for a while now. It is a static site generator (SSG) written in C++ and still under development, ready for the support of the community in GitHub. This Hacktoberfest, I experienced the role of a contributor in open source but in the next Hacktoberfest, I will be participating as a maintainer of palpatine!
