I have created a list of top 10 GitHub repositories that I think are very useful for web developers, whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer.
Before I get into the list, I want to say that this list is not in any particular order, and not inclusive of all the resources that are available on GitHub. However, I think these are very useful and can help you learn and grow as a web developer.
1. FreeCodeCamp
The freeCodeCamp repository is a really good resource for learning web development. It has the backend code for the freeCodeCamp website, which offers free coding lessons, challenges, and certifications. This is a really good resource to learn how a production website that has millions of users is built and maintained. It has 409k stars 🌟. Check it out here.
2. Build your own X
This repository provides step-by-step instructions to build technologies from scratch. It's very useful if you're curious how things that you may use in your daily work are built. I highly suggest looking into the Redis and Docker guides since they are my favorite ones on this list. It has 326k stars 🌟. Visit the repository here.
3. You Don't Know JS
This repository has a series of books that explain JavaScript in detail. It's really helpful if you want to understand JavaScript better. I recommend starting with the "Up & Going" book to get a good overview before diving into the others. It has 181k stars 🌟. Explore it here.
4. Awesome
This repository lists a lot of useful tools and resources for web developers. It's a great way to find new technologies and stay updated. I find the section on frontend development particularly useful. It has 342k stars 🌟. Find more here.
5. Public APIs
This repository lists public APIs you can use in your projects. It's categorized so it's easy to find what you need. I think it is a really good resource for beginner web developers to find APIs, learn how to use them, and build websites or apps using the APIs. It has 325k stars 🌟. Browse the APIs here.
6. Design Resources for Developers
This repository has design resources like color palettes, fonts, icons, and more. Let's be honest, design is a really important part of web development and most of us could use a little help with it. (I know I do) It has 59k stars 🌟. Check out the resources here.
7. Astro
Astro is a meta framework focused on creating content-heavy websites. This is honestly my current favorite framework for building static marketing sites, blogs, and whatever else that doesn't require a ton of interactivity. I've used this more than I can remember in the last year and can't stop recommending it to people. It has 48k stars 🌟. Learn more about Astro here.
p.s. If you're interested in learning more about Astro, I tweet about it a lot. You can follow me on Twitter
8. Vue.js
Vue.js is a tool for building user interfaces. It's easy to use and works well for both small and big projects. I specifically love the team behind Vue and Nuxt! Highly recommend checking it out and giving it a try. It has 208k stars 🌟. Explore Vue.js here.
9. React
Well, React is React and you probably already know about it. They have just released React 19 in stable and I suggest checking it out if you haven't already. Lots of interesting features have shipped and I'm sure you'll find something useful. It has 231k stars 🌟. Visit the React repository here.
10. Tailwind CSS
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that makes it easy to work with CSS. I personally learned a lot about CSS from Tailwind and their documentation. I highly suggest giving it a try if you haven't already. It has 84k stars 🌟. Discover Tailwind CSS here.
And that is it! If you have any suggestions for other repositories that should be on this list, you can drop them in the comments below!
