How to strengthen your GitHub profile & it’s uses
Answer behind the question How to strengthen your GitHub profile is two main things (Consistency and Contribution). Yeah this are the two important key points to strengthen your GitHub profile. Actually, GitHub is invented for contribution. That’s why it is one of the beautiful open source tools to explore their works and learn lot of new things. In IT field lot of solutions are available for a single problem. Yes of course, everyone have their unique solution. As developer our primary goal is to give the best optimistic solution to our client. In order to get lot of new and best ideas we need to start collaborating. I advise everyone to start using GitHub and let’s engage your profile with lot of pull requests.
When your profile looks strong?
The profile looks so pretty, when you start pushing your works into the beautiful open source community called GitHub and start contributing to others works.
