<p>Tool: Git & GitHub</p><p><br/></p><p>If you're learning to code and you're not using Git or GitHub yet, now is the time to start.</p><p><br/></p><p>Git is a version control system. It helps you save and track every change you make in your code. Think of it like "undo and redo" on steroids.</p><p><br/></p><p>GitHub is where you store that code online, collaborate with others, and even showcase your work. It’s like your coding portfolio.</p><p><br/></p><p>Why you need it: </p><p>💃 You’ll never lose your code again </p><p><br/></p><p>💃 You can work on big projects without messing things up </p><p><br/></p><p>💃 You can contribute to open source </p><p><br/></p><p>💃 Most jobs expect you to know how to use it</p><p><br/></p><p>This is not just for "advanced" developers. It’s for everyone who wants to build and grow.</p><p><br/></p><p>If you're still copying your code into Google Docs or ZIP folders, this is your sign to stop. GitHub will change how you code forever.</p><p><br/></p><p>Which one are you using already Git, GitHub, both, or none yet?</p><p><br/></p><p>Let’s talk in the comments.</p><p><br/></p><p>Follow so you don’t miss Day 5. </p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
