What are the benefits of making your own repo for linux and caelestia shell

[Sourabhpadhy]

Hello i am new to linux and GitHub so I don't know advantage of GitHub
But i have noticed that some of my friends are making repo and constantly working on it to improve it.
Isn't a IDE(developer environment) like VS.code or jupiter Notebook better choice for making project
I had a had impression that GitHub is used for only posting a finish project But people are using it to make and work on a project

Are there any benefit in upload my unfinished project rather than a finish one
And what are the benefits for unloading your linux configuration file in Github

If any one can tell me the benefits and how to use it will be a great help

You don't create a repo to write code in it. Sure, GitHub includes the ability to edit projects online, but the vast majority of people will never use it. We're working offline, then pushing our code to git. Users also don't have direct access to the main repo, so they're pushing their changes to their own fork of the project, and when they're happy with everything they might submit a pull request to try to get it included in the main project. Sounds like you might want to run through https://ohmygit.org/ to get a better understanding of what git is and how to use it.
