Every new developer should know about these 10 GitHub repositories.

Github is like Facebook for programmers. It is not unfair to give this amazing place this name. After all, this site not only lets you share your code and keep track of changes, but it also helps you connect with other great coders from all over the world. Many developers love to spend time on GitHub studying the project, learning new things all the time, making connections with other developers, and adding to open-source projects. Github's success is shown by the fact that it has more than 37 million users and more than 100 million repositories. This shows how much hackers love this great site.

Congratulations if you're a programmer who often visits GitHub; I've compiled a list of repositories you may wish to add as favourites, depending on the topics you're interested in.

  1. FreeCodeCamp

A non-profit group and one of the best online open-source communities where you can learn to code and help others. You can find more than 306k stars and more than 23k forks on their GitHub page. They have a big group with a great site where people can help each other and get better at code. There will be new bugs and pull requests every week. Put this on your list of favourites if you want to learn from and work with millions of other people.

2.Tensorflow

Visit the Tensorflow source on GitHub if you want to find a math tool used in machine learning and neural networks. TensorFlow is a set of open-source software that lets you quickly do the math based on graphs. It was made by the Google Brain team, which is made up of engineers and experts. It is used at Google for both studying and making things. There are more than 138k stars and more than 78k forks on GitHub for this project. You will start with setting up Tensorflow and then move on to a more in-depth look at the topic. We need to say again that this can be done in the Python language.

3.Free Programming Books

Free Programming Books" is a GitHub account that collects free programming books from many different fields and languages. It has a wide range of tools for self-study and career growth. The community keeps the repository up to date so that it stays useful. It gives everyone free access to high-quality training tools. It is a useful tool for programmers of all levels because it encourages the open sharing of information and makes it easier to learn on your own time.

4.Coding Interview University

To what extent have you prepared for interviews with major tech firms like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Amazon? If so, and if you want thorough instructions and tools, I've created the greatest repository on Github to help you prepare for interviews at these firms.
To advance to a software engineering career at these firms as an experienced software or web developer, you will need a background in computer science. This repository has a wealth of information that will help you to better understand computer science and prepare for interviews with various IT businesses.

5.Bootstrap

The popular web development framework Bootstrap has over 137,000 ratings and over 67,000 forks on GitHub. Starting with the installation, you'll have access to detailed instructions and extra connections to related resources. Make this your go-to resource for learning about this widely used framework

6.Public APIs

As a developer, dealing with application programming interfaces (APIs) is typically essential. This repository provides a comprehensive index of publicly available APIs, streamlining development processes. These APIs may be used without cost and are organized in a way that makes discovery simple. By bookmarking this repository, programmers will have ready access to a large library of APIs that can be included in their applications with little effort.

7.Facebook React

The Facebook React GitHub account serves as the canonical home for the Facebook-built React JavaScript library. A gathering place for the React community, it houses the library's code, documentation, and bug tracker. The repository provides developers with a central hub for tracking the progress of React and sharing their contributions. It also provides a home for associated projects and packages that expand React's functionality for online and mobile development, such as React DOM and React Native. The Facebook React GitHub account is an essential part of the React ecosystem, helping developers all across the globe.

8.Awesome Python

We've re-provided a repository for the Python community. The best Python libraries, frameworks, and other tools are all collected in one repository on GitHub. There are additional tools available for creating podcasts. You should save this page if you want to learn to code in Python.

9.Security Guide for Developers

The "Security Guide for Developers" is a large project on GitHub that gives developers all the tools and best practices they need to make their apps safer. It covers a wide range of security themes, such as secure code techniques, login and authorization, data protection, input checking, and secure communication. The repository has instructions, code samples, and tools that coders can use to find and fix common security holes. It's a great resource for makers who want to make safe and reliable apps that protect private data and keep out possible threats. Regular changes make sure that the repository is still useful and fits in with how security is changing.

10.Awesome Interview Questions

The "Awesome Interview Questions" GitHub project is a collection of interview questions and other tools that are meant to help job seekers prepare for interviews. It covers a wide range of technical and non-technical areas, such as algorithms, data structures, system design, behavioural questions, and more. The library is a great way for candidates to learn about typical interview questions and get an idea of what skills and information companies are looking for. It is changed regularly by the community to make sure it is up-to-date and covers everything.

Finally, these 10 GitHub repositories are essential for beginning developers. They provide study, inquiry, and development across many areas, languages, and technology. These repositories include free programming books, full web development curricula, popular frameworks, and curated lists of resources for beginning developers.

These repositories provide doorways to the broad world of programming, enabling learning, skill development, and industry trends. Developers may learn programming ideas, receive hands-on experience, and benefit from the developer community by using these repositories.

New developers should use these repositories to learn. They may improve their abilities, knowledge, and foundation as developers by using the materials offered.

These repositories let developers learn and collaborate by sharing information. These repositories may help novice developers flourish and start a successful programming career.

Nice article!
Since you’re posting on dev.to you should probably include the forum repo too
