Hacktoberfest 2026: start here #88
Description
Welcome! If you're here for Hacktoberfest, this is the quickest way in. OGCOPS is a free OG image generator with 109 templates and a public API.
Find something to work on
- Unassigned
good first issues are small and well scoped. Good for a first PR. - Unassigned
help wantedissues are a bit bigger. - New templates: #5 lists 14 template ideas, each with its own issue. Great if you like visual work.
How it works
- Comment on the issue you want. I'll assign it to you, usually within a day. Please don't start on one that's assigned to someone else.
- One issue at a time. Once you've had 3 PRs merged with us, you can hold two.
- Branch off
dev, open your PR againstdev, and putCloses #<issue number>in the description. The PR has to be opened here in codercops/ogcops: one merged inside your own fork never reaches us, so it doesn't count. - If there's no PR or update 5 days after you're assigned, I'll free the issue up for someone else. Comment if you need more time.
Setup
Templates are plain TypeScript rendered with Satori, so flexbox only and every div needs display: 'flex'. The full checklist is in #5. See CONTRIBUTING.md.
What counts
PRs count for Hacktoberfest once they're merged or labeled hacktoberfest-accepted. PRs that aren't linked to an issue, only reformat code, or change things nobody asked for get closed, and spam gets the spam label. Have an idea that isn't an issue yet? Open one first so we can agree on it.
AI tools and spam
AI tools are fine, but say so in the PR (the template has an "AI assistance" line) and be ready to explain every line. Untested generated code, a fix split into several PRs, and PRs for issues that aren't assigned to you are treated as spam. Two spam PRs and you won't be assigned more issues this month, and you're out of the goodies. The full rules are in CONTRIBUTING.md.
Goodies
CODERCOPS October 2026 is our own contributor program for this month. The top 5 contributors get a CODERCOPS T-shirt and stickers. You need at least 5 merged PRs labeled hacktoberfest-accepted across chatcops, ogcops, toolbelt and discord-bot, merged between Oct 1 and Oct 31 (UTC). A review can take a day, and changes add another round, so open your PR by Oct 28 to be safe. We still review PRs opened later, but can't promise they get merged by the 31st. Ties go to whoever got there first. The live leaderboard shows where everyone stands, and everyone on it gets a card to share.
These goodies come from CODERCOPS through our own open source program. They're separate from Hacktoberfest, so anything Hacktoberfest itself gives out is a different thing with its own rules. Only PRs for issues that were assigned to you count, and what counts is the maintainers' call.
Questions about anything? Ask right here, or come chat with other contributors on Discord. Claims still happen here on GitHub.

Hi @anurag629, I have no open PRs or assigned issues in ogcops now (my last one was #296). Could you assign me a new template or issue? I'm happy to take it.

Hey @Saifjafri212213, sorry for the wait. Everything open right now is already spoken for. If you've spotted a bug or have a template idea, open an issue and I'll check it, and I'll ping you as soon as there's a new one.
Saifjafri212213 commentedon Oct 30, 2026
Hi @anurag629, I have no open PRs or assigned issues in ogcops, and one free slot (#502 in chatcops is in review). If a template or bug has come up, I'm happy to take it. Thanks for the reviewer role too.
anurag629 commentedon Oct 31, 2026
Hey @Saifjafri212213, still nothing free, sorry, the pools are empty right now. I've got a few new ones ready and I'll tag you on the first one as soon as it's up.
Saifjafri212213 commentedon Oct 31, 2026
Thanks for #353, @anurag629, the Recap template is up as #362. I have one free slot. If another template or bug is ready in ogcops, I'm happy to take it.
anurag629 commentedon Oct 31, 2026
Hey @Saifjafri212213, #362 is merged, thanks for turning it around so fast! Nothing's free right now that isn't already someone's, sorry. If you spot a bug, open an issue and I'll check it.
