Description

🧠 Task 02 — Make Your First Mini Project

Goal: Apply your new Git and GitHub skills by creating a small, creative project inside this repository.
This is your warm-up before the 🎭 Tech or Treat challenge!


📋 Steps

  1. In your forked repo, create a new folder under: mini-projects//

Example: mini-projects/tristiansellers/

  1. Inside that folder, add a simple project using any language or format you’re comfortable with — it could be:- A small HTML page (index.html) that prints “Hello, Hacktoberfest Jam!”
  • A short Python or JavaScript script that logs your name or favorite quote
  • A Markdown file (README.md) describing your favorite tech concept
  1. Add a short README.md in your folder with:
  • Project name
  • What it does
  • How to run or view it

Example: My Mini Project Prints my favorite programming quote in the console.

  1. Stage, commit, and push your changes:

git add . git commit -m "Add mini project: " git push origin main

  1. Open a Pull Request titled: Add mini project:

  2. Wait for review and merge approval from a maintainer!

  • 🪄 A playful script or illusion that fits the “Tech or Treat” vibe

🎯 What You’ll Learn

  • How to organize and structure a small project
  • How to write and document code with a clear README
  • How to make commits and open Pull Requests confidently
  • How to collaborate with others in a shared repository

✨ After completing this, you’ll be ready for the final creative stage —
🎭 Tech or Treat Challenge!
