            GitHub is the place that a lot of open source projects use to store their code.

              I believe @JaredBusch uses GitHub a lot, right?

                If you're looking at getting into programming, I'd highly recommend learning to use git (no prize for guessing where GitHub got it's name.)

                    I'm just learning something new - Someone told me I should try coding so I figured what bad could it do for me to look at it and do a few lessons.

                    I'm guessing here<--! because I honestly dont know... I've only see it around a bunch --> - that GitHub got it's name from codes like -

                    git https://github.com/getsomeradomcode/fromthisperson/himom

                    ?

                      Gitlab similar to github I assume, Same concept?

                                            So, Any ideas on places I could just sit and read code when I'm not learning code?

                                            Any code repo like GitHub, GitLab, etc. However, I'm not convinced that that is a very useful practice. First of all, reading random code can teach a lot of bad habits. Second, it's insanely hard to read other people's code and figure out what is going on and even worse, what they intended. Often code does one thing and even the person writing it isn't sure why. That makes it pretty difficult to learn in that fashion.

                                            It's not that you should avoid reading someone else's code. But I think you'll find, at least this is true for me, that if you spend time working on your own code you will get way, way more out of your time and far less frustration.
