How GitHub Helps Blockchain Developers In Updating & Enhancing The Technology – Have a Look
GitHub – An Introduction –
GitHub is a common platform where coders & developers can view, alter, compare and ultimately update the code. If we understand it from a practical viewpoint, even if any technology or software is the most advanced, it still needs updating from time to time. It needs a common platform to do so; for developers and project contributors to upload their suggestions or part to keep the technology updated and running. Blockchain is one such technology, which requires this common platform to keep itself updated and advanced.
GitHub is the primary code-hosting website in the world. It is a common platform where developers can post code sequences and allow other developers to work on the project without geographical boundaries.
Open-source & GitHub
Anyone who is working on cryptoverse has now or then encountered the terms open-source and GitHub. You may know Bitcoin is a superior blockchain because it is open-source and its code is publicly available on GitHub.
Open-source is software or code not owned by an individual or corporation. Anyone can use this and they can contribute to, and improve it for better and more advanced software or technology, to keep it updated.
As Linux is an open-source operating system developed 90’s. To date, more than 15,000 individual developers have worked on and improved the OS over time. It is updated and successfully running, also used by various tech giants.
Like Linux, various blockchain-based systems are also uploaded to GitHub for enhancement. Here project contributors & developers update the current technology for better and smooth functioning. This keeps software and technology updated and smooth.
Most popular blockchain networks today, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Stellar, Cardano, and many others, are freely available on GitHub. It allows developers worldwide to contribute and constantly improve the code of the crypto, NFT and blockchain projects.
Why GitHub is important for Web3 platforms?
To keep any software and technology updated and functional, there should be addition and maintenance from time to time. To keep this going GitHub plays an important role in the smooth running of blockchain technology and services based on it. Hence we can say that GitHub plays an important role in a well-organized and functional Web3 Platform.
