GitHub badge hunting 🏹🦌

GitHub badge hunting 🏹🦌

Welcome aboard, fellow developers! This is the place where you can hunt down (and even catch) one of those shiny GitHub badges for your profile. The mission is simple: collaborate, have fun and earn badges.

Background

con·trib·ute /kənˈtrɪbjut/ (verb) - to give money, goods or your time and effort in order to achieve something, especially when other people are also helping.

Sometimes, no matter how bright and beautiful your ideas are, there is no one around to help and support you with them. You're not alone! There are now 100 million developers around the world using GitHub, and nothing could be more discouraging than sitting and waiting forever for someone to come by your project.

Whether your goal is to master Git merging or help to solve an issue or ask for feedback, this repository is here for you. The good news, you can earn some awesome profile badges along the route!

Where to start?

• Play Galaxy Trivia for a chance to win Galaxy Brain (new questions posted daily).
• Click through to get a signature YOLO badge (it's only 7 clicks away).
• Get your project promoted with Starstruck (current rate: 16 stars each).
• Follow baby steps to earn Pair Extraordinaire (tip: you can earn it for other folks).
• Read the latest news about the Mysterious badges (yet to be discovered).
• Consider supporting the project by becoming a sponsor (and yes, there is a special badge for it 😊).
