Week 12: Release 0.4 Part: 3

Release 0.4 Part 3 This is going to be my final post for this class which covers my final update on my Release 0.4. Earlier this week I made a PR that ports SearchBar to NextJS but I'm still waiting for it to be reviewed some more. I've had some feedback that I have implemented and have also requested a review again. Overall this Release went pretty smoothly for the actually GitHub side of things like setting up the issue, making the PR, and so on. In Release 0.3 I wasn't so certain on how this process happened with Telescope, but now I never had these issues for 0.4. Issue #1470 Fix #1470: Port SearchBar from Gatsby -> NextJS #1503 Did I Meet My Goals? Going into this release I had two main goals: 1. Setup the Issue/PR with no issues 2. Learn about NextJS I feel like I meet both of these goals at the end.

Release 0.2: End of the Line



Hacktoberfest and release 0.2 well be all finished for me once this blog post is done, so lets finish this.

This was my first Hacktoberfest ever and going into it I was pretty nervous. The pressure and stress that came along with trying to find a repo to work with was pretty high in the first week, but eventually it became easier for me to find and work on projects.

The Pull Requests

In total I actually had 5 PR's accepted for this event, since one I felt was not good enough to use for my 4 main PR's.

Going into this event I had a goal to try something different for each of these PR's which I think I accomplished fairly well. In general here are the PR goals I had:
  1. Add some form of documentation
  2. Fix and rework a small piece of code
  3. Change and add functionality
  4. Fix a bug that wasn't too obvious and straight forward
I think out of the bunch, my second PR was the weakest but it still helped me understand the process of working on a small piece of code.

The strongest PR I had I think would of been my third one. Here I had make a website mobile friendly which took a lot of CSS work, along with a little bit of html, and a few JavaScript functions.

Final Thoughts

Overall I think Hacktoberfest was a great experience that made me come out of my comfort zone to interact and contribute to projects bigger then I have ever worked with. For now I'm just waiting for my PR's to pass the review period and hopefully get a T-shirt!
