I use it, to store code I wish to share with the world.

I use it and its amazing.
At first it could look complicated, but when you get used to GIT and github, you will just love t.

@here - It serves as an online Resume/CV. Employers in many technologically advanced societies require a reference to your Github or Bitbucket profile while assessing your fit for a job.

It's helpful to use both i.e. (Github and Bitbucket) since they both support the Git VCS system. Kindly refer to these tutorials for more information https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials or feel free to ask, I'd be happy to answer if I can.

Cheers

The easiest way is to download a zip of the GitHub repo. Then upload to downloaded zip to your cpanel file manager and extract/unzip where you want the script to be executed.

I am an open-source programmer - www.github.com/dhtml

I still got a lot to populate on that page this year, documentation is what is slowing me down.

I use GIT to fork other project that i am using in one way or the other just in case the project gone bad.
Git is best platform for code sharing at the moment.

Boss its not like that oooo.
Am a new comer, just in case they stop development or close source the code we can continue from there. Just like the case of android and the likes.

To download a project's code simply go to the project's GitHub page and click on the "Download as Zip" link on the right side of the page. But the proper way to get a project's code is to clone it using git.

You can install git easily on Linux using your distro's package manager. On windows you can install using nuget or download it from http://git-scm.com

If have git installed to get the code open your terminal (cmd, gitbash etc) and run the following command:

 git clone project-github-url.git

The exact command for cloning the repository is usually just above the "Download as Zip" link on the right side of the project's GitHub page.

If the project going bad is the only reason you fork a project then you shouldn't be forking at all. If a project goes bad you can simply clone it and check out and earlier good commit or tag or branch.

Git best practice is to never develop on the main branch and good open source projects follow this model. You can read more on branching model at:
http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/

You can find a summary of the ideas contained in that post as a cheat sheet here:

The case where you need to fork a repo is when you want to somehow contribute to the project. In such case you fork and develop on your own copy and then contribute your changes to the parent repo by creating a pull request (PR) which the owner then reviews and merges or rejects as the case may be. In my experience it is always good to follow the best practices of the tool you're are using be it a language, framework or platform.

If you do this then you will have to manually sync upstream changes with your repo in which case it becomes easier to miss important security updates and patches from upstream. If you've made any changes in your own copy you'll have to resolve merge conflicts as well.
