- 5. Open Source Open source refers to a type of software where the source code is made available to the public, allowing anyone to view, use, modify, and distribute it. Imagine you have a recipe for a cake, and instead of keeping it a secret, you share it with everyone so they can make it, improve it, or add their own twist. In the world of software, open source allows developers from all over the world to collaborate and improve the software collectively. This can lead to more innovative and secure programs, as many people can contribute their ideas and expertise. Popular examples of open source software include the Linux operating system and the web browser Firefox. Open source promotes transparency, community collaboration, and the free exchange of knowledge. Hacktoberfest online meetup
- 6. Git & GitHub Git is a version control system that helps you manage changes to your files over time. Imagine you're writing a book, and you want to keep track of every change you make to it. Git allows you to do this by creating "snapshots" of your files at different points in time. This way, if you make a mistake or want to revert to an earlier version, you can easily do so. It's like having a supercharged undo button that works even if you close your computer or work on a different one. GitHub is like a social media site for code, where you can store your projects online, collaborate with others, and share your work with the world. GitHub makes it easy for people to work together on projects, as it helps manage contributions from different people, track changes, and discuss improvements. In essence, Git is the tool that helps you track changes, and GitHub is the place where you can share and collaborate on those changes with others. Hacktoberfest online meetup
- 7. Why it is a neccessity? • Git is a distributed version control system that allows developers to track changes in their codebase over time • It enables multiple developers to work collaboratively on a project without overwriting each other's work, as it manages different versions of the code and helps in merging changes efficiently • GitHub enhances Git's functionality by offering a user-friendly interface, collaboration features like pull requests and issue tracking, and integration with other development tools • Together, Git and GitHub facilitate seamless collaboration, improve code quality through peer reviews, and provide a centralized location for managing and sharing code, making them indispensable in both open-source and enterprise environments.

- 8. WHAT IS Github CO-PILOT? Github copilot is an AI tool developed by Github in collaboration with OpenAI. It has many features like autocompletion of codes which suggests code based on what you are typing. It can also generate documentations related to the code and adapt from the patterns it observe while you are using it. It supports multiple programming languages, it also suggests test cases if your code is based on testing. It is integrated with Github which means you can save your work on Github as well directly from the co-pilot. This can also be added to IDEs like Visual Studio code as an extension.
