Github

Github is an important place to have a presence

Once you have the skill set, it's important to market yourself so you can reach the world!

Here I give some examples of how to grow your online presence as a software developer.

Why is your Github presence important?

• On Github (and Gitlab and others) can share the projects you've built
• You can interact with and contribute to other projects-- such as creating "Issues" for recommending improvements or to discuss potential software bugs.
• It's a community: In a way, Github becomes more than just a code repo database-- it becomes a community and social network for developers to interact!
