We're running a Hacktoberfest 🎃 mini-event. The idea is simple. Land documentation 📝 in projects that deb-get already supports that explain how users of Debian and Ubuntu based distros can install and update the packages published by those projects.

We'll use this document to provide and template for submitting pull requests and tracking which pull requests were successfully merged ✅

This is the process for submitting a documentation change to a GitHub project. That said, landing documentation for deb-get in any project will also be appreciated and acknowledged by this mini-event.

• Fork the project you want to contribute to
• Submit a change to the appropriate documentation, usually README.md
  • Changes to wikis will also be accepted here!
• Submit a pull-request to the project and reference our mini-event activity tracker
• When the project merges your documentation change, fork this deb-get repository
• Submit a pull-request to this document, adding a link to the merged pull request

Here's a template for the documentation change to submit to your chosen project(s), make sure you change <project> and <packagename> accordingly in your pull requests.

## Debian and Ubuntu based distros

Users of Debian and Ubuntu based distros can also install and
update the `.deb` packages we publish in our GitHub releases page using [deb-get](https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get).

First install `deb-get` using these commands in a terminal:

    sudo apt install curl
    curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wimpysworld/deb-get/main/deb-get | sudo -E bash -s install deb-get

Then install <project> using the following command in terminal:

    deb-get install <package-name>

Once <package-name> is installed it can be kept up to date using:

    deb-get update
    deb-get upgrade

These projects are hosted on GitHub and are already supported by deb-get. They're good candidates for this mini-event, but do check the projects pull requests and our mini-event activity tracker to make sure someone else hasn't already beaten you to it 😄
