When you find a potentially helpful GitHub repository, one of the things that come to mind is: Is this still being maintained?
Maybe the original person who started that repository does not have time to maintain it, so you are a bit worried that maybe this project may be a little bit outdated. It can contain security breaches, uses an old version of a library, or even Python 2.

One great thing about Github is that you have the issues section, in which you can see recommendations or requests for help related to a particular project. There you can find many comments, where developers may be complaining about a bug, offering a solution, or simply pointing out something they want to see included in the project. If you want to quickly navigate through these comments and jump right into the ones that have had considerable reactions, then you can try to install this Chrome extension.

You do not want to even think about the possibility for a data loss of the project that you are working it. Luckily, there is a really beneficial feature that is not that much known from Rails developers is a quick tool that you can use to test out some code without changing any data in your real database.
GitHub is one of the best places for developers to store their projects, collaborate with other colleagues, and learn from other open source projects as well. These type of projects are written in different programming languages, usually using different frameworks. As these frameworks or developers in general usually possess certain ways of organizing their code files into many folders, it makes it a bit difficult to navigate through them manually in GitHub.
