🌞OneExBit now has a repository on GitHub: what it means and why it matters
🔹A couple of days ago we announced that now you can review the full revision history of OneExBit on GitHub. Since then, we have received several questions from our users who are not familiar with GitHub and would like to know how it works and what repositories are. Today, we will answer those questions.
🔹Contrary to the popular belief, most IT projects are not created by a lonely genius sitting in a garage. Rather, software, websites, and platforms are the fruit of collaboration of many developers, each of whom usually works on some specific part of the program. For example, a dev can be asked to write the code for a chat functionality, or a wallet, or a payment gateway. In case of large open-source projects, such as Mozilla, hundreds of developers can be working at the same time. Every time a change is made to the code, a new version is created. How do devs coordinate their work and keep track of version history?
🔹This issue arose at the dawn of the open-source era. Famous programmer Linus Torvaldsen (one of the creators of Linux) solved it by building Git – a code version control system. Git is a program installed on a local computer, and its interface is mostly just black screen with a command line. It stores all the revisions, but it doesn’t have a way to share your code with others. Here’s where GitHub comes in.
🔹GitHub is an online platform for sharing code and collaborating on IT projects. Each project has its own space where to store its files: it is called a repository, or just a repo. Most of the contents of a repository usually consists of code in .txt format, but you can place anything there: pictures, videos, links, etc. The act of sending something to the repository is called committing or making a commit.
🔹All things published on GitHub are visible to everyone – and anyone can join the discussion, ask the team questions, or even propose a new piece of code. Most of the groundbreaking propositions for improving Bitcoin and Ethereum (improvement proposals) were first published on GitHub.
🔹Why do most blockchain projects have GitHub repositories? Because it is the best way to maintain transparency. Too many projects published beautiful roadmaps, took investors’ money, promised to release a great product, and then simply stopped publishing updates and went into hibernation. Having a repository on GitHub with all the updates in it is much better than a simple roadmap: it is a direct channel of communication with the community and a way for investors to control that their money is spent in accordance with the roadmap.
🔹In our GitHub repository you will find a full account of everything we’ve ever done since July 2018 code-wise: all the features, bug tests, revisions, etc. We keep adding to the repository almost every day, and you can watch virtually in real time as OneExBit grows. So what are you waiting for? Check out our repo right now and see what we are working on!
Best regards,
❤️ Onex Team
