+# Hackathon kit: setup guide (about 20 minutes)
+
+You can delete this file after setup. Do the steps in order.
+
+## What's in the kit
+
+| File | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `.github/badges/*.svg` | 7 contributor badges |
+| `.github/scripts/generate_badges.py` | Regenerates the badges (change names, colours, icons) |
+| `.github/workflows/contributor-badges.yml` | Posts badges in a comment when a PR is merged |
+| `.github/scripts/create-labels.sh` | Creates the labels the workflow uses |
+| `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` | PR checklist for contributors |
+| `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/` | Template for writing good first issues, and a private security link |
+| `.all-contributorsrc` | Config for the All Contributors bot |
+| `CONTRIBUTORS.md` | Badge guide and Hall of Fame |
+| `WELCOME_ISSUE.md` | Text for a pinned "Start here" issue |
+
+## 1. Add the files to `master`
+
+Copy everything into the repo root and commit **directly to `master`**. The workflow only runs if it exists on the default branch.
+
+```bash
+git add .github CONTRIBUTORS.md .all-contributorsrc
+git commit -m "Add Hacktoberfest contributor badges and templates"
+git push origin master
+```
+
+Also commit `HOW_IT_WORKS.md` and the new `README.md` if you haven't yet.
+
+## 2. Make CI run on your PRs (important)
+
+`.github/workflows/tests.yml` currently triggers only for `main` and `develop`, but your default branch is `master`, so contributors get no test results. Change both triggers:
+
+```yaml
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: [master, main, develop]
+  pull_request:
+    branches: [master, main, develop]
+```
+
+## 3. Create the labels
+
+```bash
+gh auth login
+bash .github/scripts/create-labels.sh clencyc/LiveEdit
+```
+
+(Or create `badge:test`, `badge:bug`, `badge:docs`, `badge:design`, `badge:audio` by hand under Issues > Labels. The names must match exactly.)
+
+## 4. Repository settings
+
+- Add the topic **`hacktoberfest`** (repo main page > gear next to About > Topics).
+- Settings > Actions > General: make sure Actions are enabled.
+- Keep "Require approval for first-time contributors" on, so CI from strangers needs your OK.
+- Check hacktoberfest.com for this year's current rules.
+
+## 5. All Contributors (README wall of fame)
+
+1. Install the app: https://github.com/apps/allcontributors and give it access to the `LiveEdit` repo.
+2. Add this block to `README.md` where you want the table:
+
+```markdown
+## Contributors
+
+<!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-LIST:START - Do not remove or modify this section -->
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+<!-- markdownlint-disable -->
+<!-- markdownlint-restore -->
+<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
+<!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-LIST:END -->
+```
+
+3. To add someone, comment on any issue or PR:
+
+```
+@all-contributors please add @username for code, test, doc
+```
+
+Useful types: `code`, `test`, `doc`, `design`, `bug`, `ideas`, `audio`, `review`, `question`.
+
+## 6. Test the badge bot before the event
+
+The workflow skips PRs by the repo owner. To test with your own account:
+
+1. In `contributor-badges.yml`, temporarily delete the `if (pr.author_association === 'OWNER') { ... }` block and push to `master`.
+2. Open a throwaway PR (for example a one-line change to `CONTRIBUTORS.md`), add the label `badge:docs`, and merge it.
+3. Check the PR for the badge comment.
+4. Restore the block and revert the throwaway change.
+
+If nothing appears, open the Actions tab and read the "Contributor badges" run.
+
+## 7. Pin the welcome issue
+
+Create a new issue from `WELCOME_ISSUE.md`, then use the `...` menu > Pin issue.
+
+## Your routine while the event runs
+
+1. Review the PR. Ask for changes if needed.
+2. Add **one** badge label (`badge:test`, `badge:bug`, `badge:docs`, `badge:design` or `badge:audio`). Everyone also gets First PR and Hacktoberfest badges automatically.
+3. Merge. The bot posts the badges.
+4. Add a row to the Hall of Fame in `CONTRIBUTORS.md`.
+5. Comment `@all-contributors please add @username for ...`.
+
+## Notes
+
+- **Security:** the workflow uses `pull_request_target`. It is safe because it never checks out or runs PR code. Never add a step that does.
+- **Spam:** badges are awarded on merge only, so low-effort PRs earn nothing.
+- **Changing badges:** edit `BADGES` in `generate_badges.py`, run `python .github/scripts/generate_badges.py`, commit the SVGs. For a new badge also add a label entry in the workflow's `LABEL_BADGES`.

Stage WELCOME_ISSUE.md before pushing.

Line 24 does not add WELCOME_ISSUE.md, although the guide lists it as a kit file and later requires it for the pinned issue. Add it to the git add command or document how to commit it before Line 26.

Correct the current CI description.

The supplied .github/workflows/tests.yml already includes master for both push and pull_request. This section currently asks maintainers to make a change that is already present. Reword it as a verification step.

Align the owner-skip procedure with contributor-badges.yml.

The workflow skips merged bot PRs, not PRs from the repository owner. Update the procedure to match the workflow, or add an owner guard before documenting how to remove it.

Describe the First PR badge condition accurately.

The workflow adds first-pr only for the first qualifying merged PR. It adds the Hacktoberfest participation badge for every qualifying merged PR. Replace the current “Everyone also gets First PR” statement with these separate conditions.
