Listen to this Post

If you are a software developer who likes to learn by doing, check these 7 GitHub repositories:

  1. Public APIs (311k stars) – A collective list of free APIs for development and testing.
  2. Build Your Own X (296k stars) – Step-by-step guides to recreate popular software from scratch.
  3. Project-Based Learning (193k stars) – Curated list of project-based tutorials.
  4. Tech Interview Handbook (116k stars) – Algorithms, system design, and coding interview prep.
  5. Machine Learning Resources (64.9k stars) – A curated list of ML frameworks, libraries, and tools.
  6. Developer Roadmap (289k stars) – Structured paths for different tech careers.
  7. Full Computer Science Course (168k stars) – Complete OSS curriculum for self-taught developers.

You Should Know:

1. Working with Public APIs

To fetch data from a public API using curl:

curl -X GET "https://api.publicapis.org/entries" -H "accept: application/json"

Or in Python:

import requests 
response = requests.get("https://api.publicapis.org/entries") 
print(response.json())

2. Building Your Own Tools

For example, create a simple HTTP server in Python:

python3 -m http.server 8000

Or a basic key-value store in Bash:

declare -A store 
store["key"]="value" 
echo ${store["key"]}

3. Running Machine Learning Models

Install TensorFlow and run a quick test:

pip install tensorflow 
python -c "import tensorflow as tf; print(tf.<strong>version</strong>)"

4. Linux & Windows Commands for Developers

  • Linux:
    grep -r "pattern" /path/to/search # Recursive search 
chmod +x script.sh # Make a script executable
  • Windows (PowerShell):
    Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.CPU -gt 50 } # Find high-CPU processes

5. Git & GitHub Workflow

git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git 
git checkout -b new-feature 
git add . 
git commit -m "Add new feature" 
git push origin new-feature

What Undercode Say:

These repositories provide structured, hands-on learning for developers at all levels. Whether you’re working with APIs, building projects, or preparing for interviews, practical coding is the fastest way to mastery. Always verify commands in a safe environment before production use.

Expected Output:

A structured guide with working commands and direct GitHub links for self-paced learning.
