Learning Software Engineering, One Commit at a Time

When I first started using GitHub, I thought it was just another storage site like Google Drive for code 🤔. Later, I realized it’s more like a social network for developers—where you can follow projects, give stars ⭐ instead of likes, and even find funny memes in commit messages. A fun fact is that GitHub’s mascot, the Octocat 🐙, has no legs, only arms, yet it helps millions of developers worldwide!

Over time, GitHub became more than just a tool—it’s now a big part of my software engineering learning. I’ve been practicing version control, teamwork, and project management, and I can clearly see how valuable these skills are in real-world software development.
