What is Inherit?

Inherit is a Hack Club YSWS program that revives abandoned open source projects. Hack Clubbers adopt forgotten repos, ship new features, get peer-reviewed, and earn rewards (Github Badger, stickers, books) or donate to charity.

How it works:

1. Browse abandoned Hack Club projects
2. Claim a project and set your prize goal
3. Build features and track time with Hackatime
4. Submit for peer review
5. Receive your reward when merged
