When you find a potentially helpful GitHub repository, one of the things that come to mind is: Is this still being maintained?
Maybe the original person who started that repository does not have time to maintain it, so you are a bit worried that maybe this project may be a little bit outdated. It can contain security breaches, uses an old version of a library, or even Python 2.

If you are reading this, chances are that you use GitHub on a regular basis.
Maybe that’s because you need to create new repositories for your personal side projects, or simply because you have to push your latest changes in a work project.

When you start programming, the first thing you usually do is you start by printing something. If you have started to learn from a book, or a tutorial, chances are that the string used in the example was “Hello World”.
One repository on GitHub is dedicated to collect as many such printing examples in as many programming languages as possible. It includes a lot of languages.
I recently prepared a list of how you can do those prints in the top 12 most programming languages (based on GitHub and Tiobe) that you can go and read here.
It includes examples in Java, C, Python, C++, C#, Visual Basic .NET, JavaScript, PHP, Objective-C, SQL, Ruby and Matlab.
If this is something that grabs your interest, you can go and read the article here.
Sometimes you may need to send someone a project and they may not have Git installed, so they may not be able to download a repository from the command line. One of the ways that they can download it is by going manually to the Github repository and pressing the Download button. Here is another way that can save up time to both those that have and those that do not have git installed.

Hello world!
One of the first things that you are instructed to do when you start to learn to programme, or when you are simply learning a new programming language, is doing something really simple. One of the first steps that you do is print a simple text. As you are reading this, you probably may know which text is the most common and the one that I am referring to. Continue reading
A few months ago I wrote an article about a really great Chrome extension called Githunt. It basically grabs the most starred GitHub repositories in a day, week, month or year and displays them inside your new Chrome tab page. This way you are way closer to these repositories. This is a new article dedicated to this awesome Chrome extension: It has now been upgraded and has come with additional features that are worth the attention.
GitHub is one of the best places for developers to store their projects, collaborate with other colleagues, and learn from other open source projects as well. These type of projects are written in different programming languages, usually using different frameworks. As these frameworks or developers in general usually possess certain ways of organizing their code files into many folders, it makes it a bit difficult to navigate through them manually in GitHub. Luckily there is a really helpful shortcut that help with that. Continue reading
GitHub is widely known as one of the most famous version control repository, in which you can find pretty much countless public projects for many programming languages. It makes it easy for you to collaborate with your team members, and also with other fellow developers around the globe with many public projects that you can learn and benefit from, and also contribute to. Among many other things, GitHub displays Trending Projects which make it easy for you to differentiate the projects that have received more attention than others. As a result, you have the ability to find projects that have received a lot of stars from other fellow developers in the recent past. Continue reading
