Hi Everyone 👋 want to know about Open Source Software/Project ? Image

1. To practice coding skills and gain confidence as a developer
2. Adding value to the community
3. To build your network with like-minded people
4. Job opportunities: Many companies would require your GitHub repo to see your contributions
5. Add your GitHub profile in CV
