Q & A

What is GitHub mainly used for?

GitHub is mainly used to host and manage source code for software projects. It allows programmers to collaborate and share code with others.

What are the two main types of source code on GitHub?

The two main types of source code on GitHub are open source, which anyone can view and use, and private source code, which only certain users can access.

What kind of information can be found with each file in the code base?

Each file in the code base shows the last commit message, which are remarks from the author about the recent updates, as well as the exact time of the last update.

Where can you find information about what a GitHub project does and how to use it?

The README file, which GitHub automatically surfaces on the project homepage, typically contains information about what the project does and usage instructions.

What is the purpose of the releases module on GitHub?

The releases module contains packaged software versions that users can directly download and use, without having to compile the code themselves.

What does starring a GitHub project indicate?

Starring a GitHub project is a way for users to indicate their interest and support for the project to the authors.

What does forking a project allow you to do?

Forking a project allows you to copy the entire codebase of a GitHub project over to your own account, where you can modify it without affecting the original.

Where can you provide feedback about issues you encounter with a GitHub project?

The issues section allows users to submit bug reports and questions to the authors to help them improve their projects.

Why is it important to be respectful when discussing projects on GitHub?

Being respectful encourages constructive dialog that allows projects to improve. Disrespectful language can be demotivating for authors who are contributing their time and effort.

What might you need to do if you want to contribute code to an open source GitHub project?

You would likely need to fork the repository, make changes locally, thoroughly test your code, then submit a pull request to have the project owners review and potentially merge your contribution.

😊 What is GitHub and why use it

The paragraph introduces GitHub as the world's largest code hosting and collaboration platform used to store and manage software source code uploaded by programmers. It explains the concept of open source projects that anyone can access and use vs private source code only accessible to certain users. The paragraph states that GitHub is mainly built on the git version control system to manage code.

📝 Overview of common GitHub interface and functions

The paragraph provides an overview of the typical GitHub project interface and explains the purpose of key components - the code base to view source code files, the Readme section for project details, the Releases module to download executable software builds, the Stats summary, and features like Fork, Issues and Search.

Keywords

💡open source

Open source refers to software source code that is publicly available for anyone to access, view, modify, and distribute. Open source is a key theme of the video as GitHub hosts a huge variety of open source projects. The video emphasizes how open source software powers much of the technology we use today.

💡source code

Source code is the human-readable code that makes up a software program. Uploading and sharing source code publicly is a main functionality of GitHub. The video explains there are private and public source code projects hosted on GitHub.

💡version control

Version control systems track changes to source code over time. GitHub is built on Git, a distributed version control system. This allows developers to collaborate on projects more efficiently by managing code changes.

💡commit

A commit in Git refers to a change set of code that is added to the project. On GitHub, each file shows the commit message describing the latest update by the author.

💡releases

The releases module of a GitHub project contains installable packaged versions of the software for end users. Depending on the project, releases may include binaries for Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.

💡issues

Issues on GitHub refer to bug reports or feedback submitted by users. The video explains issues enable communication between users and project developers to improve the software.

💡fork

Forking is creating a copy of a GitHub repository to your own account. This allows you to freely experiment with changes without affecting the original project.

💡star

Starring a GitHub project saves it to your account and shows appreciation to the developer. A project's star count reflects its popularity within the GitHub community.

💡open protocol

Open protocols and licenses allow people to freely use, modify, and share open source code. GitHub displays a project's open source license.

💡readme

The README file provides overview documentation for a GitHub project. It generally explains what the project does and how to use it, as the video script mentions.

Transcripts

Github has many excellent open source projects and useful software.

But unfortunately, many people don't know what it is.

also won't use

So in this video, let's talk about what github is.

And as a white whoring monster you need to know the function

This video is the second in a series.

If interested

Everyone can order a collection.

If you don't know how to access GitHub

You can view my previous video.

The content of this video is more basic

Not suitable for programmers with years of development experience to watch

If there is no mistake

Please discuss and correct rationally

First, let's talk about what GitHub is.

GitHub is the world's largest code hosting and collaboration platform.

The biggest role is to save the software source code written by programmers.

Anyone can upload their own code.

Source code can be roughly divided into two types

One is completely open.

Everyone can view the download

and used within certain rules

For example, the famous Linux android belongs to this category.

Open source is the treasure of human computer industry

Most of the software we use in our lives

are based on open source software secondary development

It can be said that without open source, there would be no prosperous Internet today.

Another source code is private

Only the uploader and the user with the specified permissions can access

It's called GitHub.

Because it is mainly based on the idea of version control tool git.

Establish and manage code

As for what G is, that's what another video will talk about.

So ask below in my blog park video

Why Blog Garden?

Don't use githu and ask why github is used under my github video.

No need for a loveless and cool audience

There should be an answer here.

Because github is a code hosting platform

Not the blog community.

It's not a resource-sharing community.

Although he has some of the functions of the first two to a certain extent

Then we look at the second part

In this part, I will share some common github function modules.

and their role.

When you receive the address of a github project

And after opening it

You will see an interface similar to the following

The most visible in the interface is the code base.

This is the middle part.

Inside is the source code of the entire project.

We can click directly to view the contents of it.

You can also click the button in the upper right corner.

Select download

Download it directly.

Each file in the code base will have two pieces of information behind it.

The first is the commit message.

This is the last time the author updated the codes' remarks.

The second is the last update time

If in a project

All documents were updated many years ago

That means he may have no one to maintain

of the code base

Below is the introduction of the project

github will automatically access the read me file of the project

and show the contents here

You can generally see what this project does here.

What's the use and how to use it?

Of course, its specific content and the degree of detail.

Depending on the author, there will be nothing to write.

If you are not a programmer.

I just came to github to find software.

You can pay more attention to this part of the content.

Another module that needs attention is the releases on the right.

This is usually packed by the author.

Introduction to the software and the current version

You can download directly using

For example, this project I am opening now

The author provides a Linux version.

mac version

windows version and source package

Sliding down

Old versions can also be found

According to their own needs, click to download

It should be noted that

Not all projects will have releases to offer

On the releases is the bot module

The overall summary of the project will be shown here

In general, there are brief labels for each project.

open source protocol

Important information such as star numbers

Can help you quickly understand the current project

Which star similar video site collection

Can reflect the heat of the project

If you are interested in a project.

You can also click the start button to give the author a star.

As you are interested in my video

Can also give me a collection and attention

On the left of star is the fork function.

Click on it

You can directly put all the code of the current project.

Copy to your own home page.

That's right.

Take someone else's code on github

It's that simple

There is no need to notify the author.

And don't need any pay

On star and fork is github's search module.

You can search for the current project.

You can also delete the original content in the search box.

Search the entire github resource directly

Finally, let's look at the upper left corner of the page.

There is also a very important function here

issues

Its function is to give the author of the project feedback questions.

For example, you encountered a bug when using it.

You can tell the author here.

Help authors improve the project

You can also check out other people's questions here.

or join the discussion

Help others solve problems

It should be noted that

Please pay attention to the quality of any discussion

Respect for others

All right.

The video is here.

You already know

As a white whoring monster need to know all the common functions

You can play happily to Habra.

I'll talk about it in the next video.

What do you need to do if you want to participate in the development of open source projects?

That's all for this video.

I'm Melody Ninety-Nine

Let's see you next time.
