GitHub provides with an easy and intuitional way to introduce yourself with open-source project development. It provides numerous benefits including easier collaboration with colleagues and peers, ability to look back on previous versions, and tons of easy integration options. A few interesting advantages of GitHub are :-
There might be a part of code that you are having trouble with or aren't sure whether it would work right. GitHub provides an easy medium to get two cents from the experts in all fields.
If you want to be hired by your dream company, then you need to flaunt your intellectual potent and coding acumen. There is no better way of achieving that than by posting your projects, and since GitHub is one of the largest coding communities around right now, so it’s wide exposure for your project.
Much like using Microsoft Word or Google Drive, you can have a version history of your code so that previous versions are not lost with every iteration. GitHub also tracks changes in a changelog, so you can have an exact idea of what is changed each time. (This is especially helpful for looking back in time.)
You can search Google to learn GitHub, but if you want to get started quickly here is a list of resources that we found to be most helpful to learn GitHub from scratch.
FOSSIL stands for Foundation of Open Source Society IET Lucknow, which is a community of open source developers at IET Lucknow. For long quality of projects (and placement results) at our college have been mediocre (to put it mildly). FOSSIL intends to change just that, by inculcating among it constituents a spirit of taking on ambitious projects and serendipitous learning through active participation of the entire community. The sole purpose of FOSSIL is to promote projects by active collaboration among its members. Participation in FOSSIL would have multiple additional benefits like being introduced to open source community, perhaps you might qualify for open source competions like GSoC, and as a result improve your chances of getting your dream job. Thorough examination of top colleges (and what they do differently) has lead to the conclusion that the number of students qualifying GSoC is an great indicator (and primary factor) of the coding culture in a college and placement records of that college. And with that in mind, FOSSIL will largely emphasis on helping build among students the skillset and mental fortitude required to crack GSoC.
To put it in concrete terms FOSSIL pledges to ensure that 3 students from IET Lucknow are selected in GSoC-2019.
This repository is intended to be a common space for all the software engineering projects made by CS batch in the year 2018. Along with providing an easy way of monitoring projects and progress of the entire class, this repo is intended to promote collaboration and encourage ambitious projects among the participating members. Keeping this vision in mind, please find alongside this page a list of project suggestions. Choose one of the projects from this list or take on any project that you find interesting.
