Writing good commit messages really makes a difference. At first, it is a bit annoying to write this message for each commit. But as we realized its benefits, it became a habit for us! By having a small and meaningful commits, it would be easier, later on, to track down bugs. I consider this to be helpful which makes a code review easier and faster.

Here are my few relevant commits messages listed :

feat : Introducing New feature

docs : Update READ.md

style : Type of style added

fix : Validating input

What are the alternatives of GitHub ?

So, here is a curated list of tools that can replace GitHub. This list includes open source tool with latest Download Links.

  1. SourceForge : A centralized online location to control and manage free and open-source software projects.

2. Allura : A website which allows you to manage bug reports, source code repositories, discussions, etc. It has most effective bug tracking system.

3. Gogs : It allows you to run on an inexpensive Raspberry Pi.

4. BitBucket : It is preferred choice for big enterprises and free for projects with up to five team members.

Trending Repositories I explored :

FreeCodeCamp : It is a friendly community where you can learn to code for free.

JavaScript30 : 30 DAY Vanilla JS Coding Challenge.

free-programming-books : Free learning resources in many languages.

30-seconds-of-code : Short JS code snippets for development needs.
