A year off.
A wall to come back to.
In 2024, we built it together.
In 2025, we skipped an edition.
In 2026, we’re coming back.
It started
with a name.
A small invitation for Hacktoberfest: edit a JSON file, open a pull request, leave your name on the wall.
Then people made it their own. Search, themes, fun facts, a Halloween mascot. A first contribution became something you could point to.
Step inside the 2024 editionEvery tile is an entry from the original mural.
Kept as written. Including additions after 2024.
One wall.
A lot of hands.
Behind the names: people opening pull requests, fixing the page, and helping it grow. Here’s the activity they left behind.
One month of building together.
One bar for each day.

You didn’t have
to know it all.
Just start.
Jolly created HacktoberWall to help beginners take part in open source. Phanty78 joined as co-owner. The community took it from there.
Meet the repository contributors
Then we skipped a year.
No 2025 edition.
That’s part of the story, too.
Put your name on the wall.
Add one JSON file for your profile, or help shape the 2026 page itself. That is the whole point.
- Fork the repo.
- Copy
2026/data/contributors/_template.json. - Rename it to your GitHub username.
- Open a pull request.
The wall
isn’t finished.
HacktoberWall returns in 2026.
The details are still to come.
Be here when the next chapter opens.
Join by adding one JSON file in 2026/data/contributors/, or improve the 2026 website through a pull request.
