  2. z  According to the official GitHub website, ?We’re supporting a community where more than 19 million people learn, share, and work together to build software.? The statistics posted on various websites depict that over 49 millions projects are hosted publicly on GitHub. Likewise, the online version control repository has over 10 million active users and 32 million monthly visitors.  A large percentage of web developers also visit GitHub on a regular basis to take advantage of robust code sharing and publishing services. Like other code sharing platforms, GitHub is also designed with a web-based graphical user interface (GUI). But it also provides a number of features that help developers to build websites and web applications rapidly.

Each project hosted on Github has its own or repository. All files related to a project are stored in its centralized repo. Hence, the developers can access all files related to a project by accessing its repo through a unique URL. The individual file repository and flexible access encourage many programmers to download web development frameworks and tools from Github instead of their official websites.

The version system control enables store all their projects in a centralized location, and share the projects with likeminded contributions. But GitHub scores over other version control systems in the category of storing file changes and maintaining file integrity. The feature makes it easier for programmers to contribute towards improving an existing project, while clearly tracking and showing their contributions. Many web developers take advantage of this feature to contribute towards improving web development tools and services.

  5. z Forking Repos In addition to making changes existing open source projects, many web developers even explore ways to create a new version of the project with new features and functionality. GitHub enables web developers to fork the existing projects without any restrictions. The users can download all files related to a specific project from GitHub, and release a new version of the project as a new repo. They can further make the new version of the project available to other users instantaneously. They even have option to revise and update their own version of the project on a regular basis.
