I love git, and I love github.

One of the things that has kept me away from developing in the past is the difficulty of accessing, contributing and sharing of code. Given my limited ability in programming has prevented me from contributing anything of much use but there has always been somewhat of a barrier keeping me from going forth and working towards something of use.

But ever since Jesse got me started with Git I’ve been all over the place screwing around with all different types of code. Github makes it all easy. All you do is fork a current project, clone it, and then you have your own repository of code to work from, and that anyone can fork and use for themselves.

Its a lot easier than downloading source via svn, and having to create a patch or something, and then sending that to the software publisher; forcing them publish the patch into the actual software. Its been a constant barrier, and now its gone.

I have a feeling that as my knowledge grows with programming, there will be a limitless supply of open source contribution.
