Quality over quanity: What to post on GitHub!

#github #repo #tips #helpful

It's not about how many GitHub repositories you have, it's about the code inside them. What they do, what impact your project has, how many people use it. 🧑‍💻

You want to publish almost anything that you are satisficed with and that you think is cool.
You don't want to publish unfinished crappy side-projects, you want to publish projects with potential 💖! Even if it's a work-in-progress you still want to publish it on your GitHub as long as you are still working on the project, if not add a topic such as "unmaintained" or even archive it! 😵

But why publish on GitHub?

Well, you can say "I made an app" or "I made a program" or whatever you want but you'll still need proof where if you don't have a GitHub you have no proof.

If you have a GitHub you can have proof or even a license as well as credits to you and your other contributors if you have any.

Not only proving that you made something but also the GitHub community, the GitHub community is a truly beautiful thing with open-source contributors around the globe. You can receive feedback, receive bug fixes, or receive code to help out with your project all from open-source contributors on GitHub, who knows maybe you could become an open-source contributor to multiple projects!

What if I don't use GitHub?

Well, this goes for everything like GitHub! Like Replit, SourceForge, Bitbucket, etc.
Whenever having an account for a platform like GitHub where open-source projects/code is shared, you want to follow the rule of quality over quanity, because it's important.
