I felt, I should share this. Recently Github has evolved, introducing so many cool features like the Dark mode, to Codespaces.. Its just makes the life of developer’s easier on every release.
Github has always been my favourite, with all of its ecosystem around it, it makes it easier to collaborate as a Software Engineer and a Open Source Contributor, with its various features and advanced developer experience tools its just an amazing product. I have tried others too – Bitbucket and Gitlab, but the fact that Github has contributed and helped opensource bring to life. I will bet for it.
So, In this post, I am going to share some of the cool Github tricks, that I personally use to make more use of Github.. may be there can be alternatives.. but I found this helps me a lot while working on projects hosted on Github.
