Nowadays, there is a lot of fuss going on about open source and open source contributions. But, do you what it is? Let’s see —

  1. What is open source software?
  2. How is it beneficial to us?
  3. How to contribute?
  4. How is Git different from GitHub?
  5. What are some available open-source programs?

So, let’s see the answers to above questions.

  1. What is open source software?

Open-Source Software is code that is designed to be publicly accessible — anyone can see, modify and distribute the code as they see fit.

2. How is it beneficial to us?

3. How to contribute?

4. How is Git different from GitHub?

Git is a version control system that lets you manage and keep track of your source code history. GitHub is a cloud-based hosting service that lets you manage Git repositories. If you have open-source projects that use Git, then GitHub is designed to help you better manage them.

5. What are some available open-source programs?

I had also made a short video “What is Open Source” on our YouTube channel.

So, I hope this blog post will help you get basic idea on Open Source.

Stay tuned for more!
