Quick intro to Open Source

A short blog on what is open source and how to get started. ๐Ÿช

So what is Open Source in software means? ๐Ÿคจ

Open Source implies that software codebase is open to the public, for anyone to review, modify and access. Quick example is Firefox is open source browser.

And the reverse of open source is closed source software in which access to codebase is limited to company's internal team.

Why open source? ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป Open source helps new developers to gain hands on experience on software development rather than just going through tutorial hell.

Open source also helps small starting companies contributors who volunteers to help with code building and fixes.

A win-win situation for both :)

How to get started with Open source? ๐Ÿค  Well its quite easy.

Learn about Git and GitHub. โœ… Find an open source organisation on GitHub.โœ… Look for the issues in which you can be of help.โœ…

It can be low-code and no-code contributions as well, doesn't have to be big heavy code contributions always :)
