10 Most Valuable GitHub Repositories For Developers

GitHub is where people build software. More than 83 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 200 million projects. When GitHub was founded in 2008, its primary goal was to host Open Source projects using the distributed version control system Git.

Over the next 13 years, GitHub has evolved the central place to host open-source projects and share resources among the developer community. With 83 million public repositories, GitHub offers every form of knowledge sharing for the developers, including open source projects, libraries, learning platforms, interview preparation, CV writing tips, knowledge base, and many more.
