How to start contributing to open source

Leo — Sun, 03 Mar 2024 10:26:32 +0000

I think many programmers want to start or try contributing to open source and one of the best ways in my opinion is the repo first-contribution it is for beginners that dont know how to start.
It gives a step by step guide how to do things like fork a repo or how to make a pull request.

How I configured my Neovim

Leo — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 18:41:20 +0000

I always wanted to use Neovim, but I didn't want to use a Neovim distribution, so I watched some videos on how to configerate Neovim. Finally, I found the best way for me:

kickstarter.nvim

https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim

It gives you a sample configuration that is very well documented and easy to understand, so you can add your own plugins or keymaps to it. Some already know it but I wanted to write it again as it is a very good starting point for beginners

How to get Jetbrains IDE's for free

I wanted to get the Jetbrains IDE Phpstorm for free and i think many people do not know that they can get all IDE's for free.

Jetbrains allows students to get their products for free the only thing you need is your students card, official university email address, ISIC or ITIC card, GitHub Student Developer Pack account or any other official document

So if you are a student and are looking for an IDE, Jetbrains is a very good provider in my opinion.

How to get a good looking Github Readme

Leo — Tue, 16 May 2023 13:39:36 +0000

Every Time i go on a Github Profile i asked me how they got a nice looking Readme file and if you've asked yourself that too, I have a good solution, with the website https://rahuldkjain.github.io/gh-profile-readme-generator/ you can easily create a nice readme.

That is a example of my Github Readme file.

I hope it is helpful for some of you :)

How to track your coding time

Leo — Mon, 15 May 2023 16:54:29 +0000

Have you ever wondered how much time you spend coding, if so, is there a way to track it. The extension Wakatime is available for many IDE's and text editors with this extension you can easily track your time: WakaTime - Dashboards for developers

Every week they email you a report and they have an option to display your time on Github

Personally I use it because I'm interested how much time I code per week, but it's also cool to show my friends the time on Github :D

Do you use Wakatime or don't like it?
