In basic term, GitHub can be defined as the online storage for storing different files or it can simply called as hosting provider. It is quite popular among software developer and programmer where they store, backup and view other’s code. Along with storage, it includes Git’s distributed version control and source code management features which is very useful for the developers. It is free for basic services. GitHub can be a good way to communicate with other developers around the globe and can also follow them. There are many features of GitHub in programming world which we do not discuss here.
As we already know java is high level programming language. In this article we will talk about java developer’s GitHub account to follow. You can get motivation from these code if you want to learn programming language specially java. You can follow and view top pick of my list or alternatively you can search your favorite repositories on your own on GitHub website by clicking on the link https://github.com/ . You can also view trending or hot topics on GitHub community related to java by clicking https://github.com/trending/java. You can also view other trending programming topics. For that you have to change java to other technology you want to see in above link. For example, To view trending topics of python you have to replace java with python as https://github.com/trending/python or https://github.com/trending/javascript for the JavaScript. You can search on the basis of date range as today’s trending, week’s trending’s or this month’s trending. For that you can use GitHub’s date range features as shown in figure below
