Become An Open Source Master [Part 4] - Open Source Terminology: Projects, Repos, Issues, PRs

We'll focus on GitHub, a popular platform for open-source software, to understand key terms and concepts.

  • Projects and repositories (repos) are the core units of open-source projects on GitHub.
  • You can view source code, metadata, and community activity within a repository.
  • Issues are used to report bugs or request features, while pull requests propose code contributions.
  • Pull requests are reviewed and discussed by the community before being accepted into the project.
