What is GitHub



GitHub, Inc. is a provider of Internet hosting {1} for software development {2} and version control {3} using Git {4}. It offers the distributed version control {5} and source code management (SCM) {3} functionality of Git, plus its own features. It provides access control {6} and several collaboration features such as bug tracking {7}, feature requests {8}, task management {9}, continuous integration {10} and wikis {11} for every project. 

Headquartered in California, it has been a subsidiary of Microsoft since 2018.

GitHub offers its basic services free of charge. Its more advanced professional and enterprise services are commercial. Free GitHub accounts are commonly used to host open-source {12} projects. 

2019: As of January 2019, GitHub offers unlimited private repositories {13} to all plans, including free accounts, but allowed only up to three collaborators per repository for free.

2020: Starting from April 15, 2020, the free plan allows unlimited collaborators, but restricts private repositories to 2,000 minutes of GitHub Actions {14} per month.

As of January 2020, GitHub reports having over 40 million users and more than 190 million repositories (including at least 28 million public repositories), making it the largest host of source code {15} in the world.

Git-SCM

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Git is easy to learn and has a tiny footprint with lightning fast performance. It outclasses SCM tools like Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase with features like cheap local branching, convenient staging areas, and multiple workflows. Ref: git-scm

1. Internet hosting An Internet hosting service is a service that runs servers connected to the Internet, allowing organizations and individuals to serve content or host services connected to the Internet. A common kind of hosting is web hosting. Most hosting providers offer a combination of services - e-mail hosting, website hosting, and database hosting, for example. DNS hosting service, another type of service usually provided by hosting providers, is often bundled with domain name registration. Dedicated server hosts, provide a server, usually housed in a datacenter and connected to the Internet where clients can run anything they want (including web servers and other servers). The hosting provider ensures that the servers have Internet connections with good upstream bandwidth and reliable power sources. Another popular kind of hosting service is shared hosting. This is a type of web hosting service, where the hosting provider provisions hosting services for multiple clients on one physical server and shares the resources between the clients. Virtualization is key to making this work effectively. Internet hosting 2. Software Development Software development is the process of conceiving, specifying, designing, programming, documenting, testing, and bug fixing involved in creating and maintaining applications, frameworks, or other software components. Software development is a process of writing and maintaining the source code, but in a broader sense, it includes all that is involved between the conception of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software, sometimes in a planned and structured process. Therefore, software development may include research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products. The software can be developed for a variety of purposes, the three most common being to meet specific needs of a specific client/business (the case with custom software), to meet a perceived need of some set of potential users (the case with commercial and open source software), or for personal use (e.g. a scientist may write software to automate a mundane task). Embedded software development, that is, the development of embedded software, such as used for controlling consumer products, requires the development process to be integrated with the development of the controlled physical product. System software underlies applications and the programming process itself, and is often developed separately. The need for better quality control of the software development process has given rise to the discipline of software engineering, which aims to apply the systematic approach exemplified in the engineering paradigm to the process of software development. There are many approaches to software project management, known as software development life cycle models, methodologies, processes, or models. The waterfall model is a traditional version, contrasted with the more recent innovation of agile software development. Software development 3. Version control In software engineering, version control (also known as revision control, source control, or source code management) is a class of systems responsible for managing changes to computer programs, documents, large web sites, or other collections of information. Version control is a component of software configuration management. Changes are usually identified by a number or letter code, termed the "revision number", "revision level", or simply "revision". For example, an initial set of files is "revision 1". When the first change is made, the resulting set is "revision 2", and so on. Each revision is associated with a timestamp and the person making the change. Revisions can be compared, restored, and with some types of files, merged. The need for a logical way to organize and control revisions has existed for almost as long as writing has existed, but revision control became much more important, and complicated, when the era of computing began. The numbering of book editions and of specification revisions are examples that date back to the print-only era. Today, the most capable (as well as complex) revision control systems are those used in software development, where a team of people may concurrently make changes to the same files. Version control systems (VCS) are most commonly run as stand-alone applications, but revision control is also embedded in various types of software such as word processors and spreadsheets, collaborative web docs[2] and in various content management systems, e.g., Wikipedia's page history. Revision control allows for the ability to revert a document to a previous revision, which is critical for allowing editors to track each other's edits, correct mistakes, and defend against vandalism and spamming in wikis. Version control 4. Git Git (/ɡɪt/) is software for tracking changes in any set of files, usually used for coordinating work among programmers collaboratively developing source code during software development. Its goals include speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows (thousands of parallel branches running on different systems). Git was created by Linus Torvalds in 2005 for development of the Linux kernel, with other kernel developers contributing to its initial development. Since 2005, Junio Hamano has been the core maintainer. As with most other distributed version control systems, and unlike most client–server systems, every Git directory on every computer is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full version-tracking abilities, independent of network access or a central server. Git is free and open-source software distributed under GNU General Public License Version 2. Git 5. Distributed version control In software development, distributed version control (also known as distributed revision control) is a form of version control in which the complete codebase, including its full history, is mirrored on every developer's computer. Compared to centralized version control, this enables automatic management branching and merging, speeds up most operations (except pushing and pulling), improves the ability to work offline, and does not rely on a single location for backups. Git, the world's most popular version control system, is a distributed version control system. In 2010, software development author Joel Spolsky described distributed version control systems as "possibly the biggest advance in software development technology in the past ten years". Distributed version control 6. Access control In the fields of physical security and information security, access control (AC) is the selective restriction of access to a place or other resource while access management describes the process. The act of accessing may mean consuming, entering, or using. Permission to access a resource is called authorization. Locks and login credentials are two analogous mechanisms of access control. Access control 7. Bug tracking system A bug tracking system or defect tracking system is a software application that keeps track of reported software bugs in software development projects. It may be regarded as a type of issue tracking system. Many bug tracking systems, such as those used by most open-source software projects, allow end-users to enter bug reports directly. Other systems are used only internally in a company or organization doing software development. Typically bug tracking systems are integrated with other project management software. A bug tracking system is usually a necessary component of a professional software development infrastructure, and consistent use of a bug or issue tracking system is considered one of the "hallmarks of a good software team". Bug tracking system 8. Software feature In software, a feature has several definitions. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers defines the term feature in IEEE 829 as "A distinguishing characteristic of a software item (e.g., performance, portability, or functionality)." Software feature 9. Task management Task management is the process of managing a task through its life cycle. It involves planning, testing, tracking, and reporting. Task management can help either individual achieve goals, or groups of individuals collaborate and share knowledge for the accomplishment of collective goals. Tasks are also differentiated by complexity, from low to high. Effective task management requires managing all aspects of a task, including its status, priority, time, human and financial resources assignments, recurrence, dependency, notifications and so on. These can be lumped together broadly into the basic activities of task management. Managing multiple individuals or team tasks may be assisted by specialized software, for example workflow or project management software. Task management may form part of project management and process management and can serve as the foundation for efficient workflow in an organization. Project managers adhering to task-oriented management have a detailed and up-to-date project schedule, and are usually good at directing team members and moving the project forward. Task management 10. Continuous integration In software engineering, continuous integration (CI) is the practice of merging all developers' working copies to a shared mainline several times a day. Grady Booch first proposed the term CI in his 1991 method, although he did not advocate integrating several times a day. Extreme programming (XP) adopted the concept of CI and did advocate integrating more than once per day – perhaps as many as tens of times per day. Continuous integration 11. Wiki A wiki (/ˈwɪki/ WIK-ee) is a hypertext publication collaboratively edited and managed by its own audience directly using a web browser. A typical wiki contains multiple pages for the subjects or scope of the project and could be either open to the public or limited to use within an organization for maintaining its internal knowledge base. Wikis are enabled by wiki software, otherwise known as wiki engines. A wiki engine, being a form of a content management system, differs from other web-based systems such as blog software, in that the content is created without any defined owner or leader, and wikis have little inherent structure, allowing structure to emerge according to the needs of the users. Wiki engines usually allow content to be written using a simplified markup language and sometimes edited with the help of a rich-text editor. There are dozens of different wiki engines in use, both standalone and part of other software, such as bug tracking systems. Some wiki engines are open source, whereas others are proprietary. Some permit control over different functions (levels of access); for example, editing rights may permit changing, adding, or removing material. Others may permit access without enforcing access control. Other rules may be imposed to organize content. The online encyclopedia project, Wikipedia, is the most popular wiki-based website, and is one of the most widely viewed sites in the world, having been ranked in the top twenty since 2007. Wikipedia is not a single wiki but rather a collection of hundreds of wikis, with each one pertaining to a specific language. In addition to Wikipedia, there are hundreds of thousands of other wikis in use, both public and private, including wikis functioning as knowledge management resources, notetaking tools, community websites, and intranets. The English-language Wikipedia has the largest collection of articles: as of February 2020, it has over 6 million articles. Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described wiki as "the simplest online database that could possibly work." "Wiki" is a Hawaiian word meaning "quick." Wiki 12. Open source Open source is source code that is made freely available for possible modification and redistribution. Products include permission to use the source code, design documents, or content of the product. It most commonly refers to the open-source model, in which open-source software or other products are released under an open-source license as part of the open-source-software movement. Use of the term originated with software, but has expanded beyond the software sector to cover other open content and forms of open collaboration. Open source 13. Repository (version control) In revision control systems, a repository is a data structure that stores metadata for a set of files or directory structure. Depending on whether the version control system in use is distributed like (Git or Mercurial) or centralized like (Subversion, CVS, or Perforce), the whole set of information in the repository may be duplicated on every user's system or may be maintained on a single server. Some of the metadata that a repository contains includes, among other things: 13.1. A historical record of changes in the repository. 13.2. A set of commit objects. 13.3. A set of references to commit objects, called heads. Repository (version control) 14. GitHub Actions Automate your workflow from idea to production. GitHub Actions makes it easy to automate all your software workflows, now with world-class CI/CD. Build, test, and deploy your code right from GitHub. Make code reviews, branch management, and issue triaging work the way you want. Ref 15.1: GitHub Actions Automate, customize, and execute your software development workflows right in your repository with GitHub Actions. You can discover, create, and share actions to perform any job you'd like, including CI/CD, and combine actions in a completely customized workflow. Ref 15.2: GitHub Actions - Docs Ref 15.3: YouTube 15. Source code In computing, source code is any collection of code, with or without comments, written using a human-readable programming language, usually as plain text. The source code of a program is specially designed to facilitate the work of computer programmers, who specify the actions to be performed by a computer mostly by writing source code. The source code is often transformed by an assembler or compiler into binary machine code that can be executed by the computer. The machine code might then be stored for execution at a later time. Alternatively, source code may be interpreted and thus immediately executed. Most application software is distributed in a form that includes only executable files. If the source code were included it would be useful to a user, programmer or a system administrator, any of whom might wish to study or modify the program. Source code Tags: Technology,Cloud,GitHub,

Censorship in India, Torrenting and Tor Browser



We were looking for a 1997 movie "Good Will Hunting" in ".mp4" format because my Sony Bravia Smart TV does not accept some other video file formats such ".webm" (See more about "webm" in End Note) and see how we solved this problem:

Note: Third link in top 10 results in Google search solved our requirement.

I1 - Good Will Hunting - Google Search
I2 - Magnet Link Site (The Second Link in Google Search Results) but it did not work. Downloaded some garbage video file that did not run in VLC media player.
I3 - The garbage files being downloaded with 'second search result' in qBitTorrent
I4 - The video file fails to open in VLC media player Important Note: Along with video file, a Windows Batch program (.bat file) was also downloaded. This is a very good indication that something is fishy about this magnet link and these files.
I5 - first search result and censorship in India - ytstvmovies.xyz - failed to open in Firefox with Airtel connection
I6 - first search result and censorship in India - ytstvmovies.xyz - failed to open in Chrome with Airtel connection
I7 - first search result and censorship in India - ytstvmovies.xyz - failed to open in Tor with Airtel connection

About Gohana

Gohana is a sub-division/tehsil, a town and a municipal committee in Sonipat district in the Indian state of Haryana.
Geography: Gohana is located at 29.13°N 76.7°E. It has an average elevation of 225 meters (738 feet).
Demographics: Gohana town is situated in Sonipat district of Haryana. It is a main sub-division of more than 300,000 populations now in year 2011, has its own municipality and a constituency for Haryana Vidhan Sabha. Villages in Gohana (Subdivision) are around 86.It is located in west from District Sonipat. From the district, its distance is 40 km. Earlier it was part of Rohtak district. [Ref: May 20, 2021 (Wikipedia)]

Gohana is a city and a municipal council, near Sonipat city in the Sonipat district of the Indian state of Haryana. 
Gohana city is situated in the Sonipat district of Haryana. It is the main subdivision with a population of more than 300,000 (as of 2011). It has its own municipality and a constituency for Haryana Vidhan Sabha. There are around 86 Villages in Gohana. [Ref: Wikipedia, 2022-Oct-4]

Level 5: Babaji’s mother was a native of Sonepat, Haryana. Babaji’s parents had lived in Gohana, Haryana. Grandma’s family lived in BADSHAHPUR (near Gurgaon), Haryana. Amma was ten when her family moved to Delhi in around 1947. Amma tells of the Hindu-Muslim riots happening around the city during that time of country’s independence. After marriage, amma moved to Gohana where babaji’s family lived. Babaji was practicing in Delhi, and used to visit Gohana to see his family often. Four of six children had their birth in Gohana, only Rekha buaji and Manju buaji were born in Delhi. Jainism and its influence on my grandparents Amma has always been very religious and holds very strong belief in God and Jainism. She went to a Jain school as a child, and she didn’t do schooling after fifth standard. At the Jain school, she was taught all the prayers, the rituals, the beliefs, rules and practices of Jainism. Her school wasn’t a separate body, but in conjunction with the temple. She has a small metallic tray that was distributed in her school on the occasion of first republic day of our country, Jan-26-1951. Babaji’s family had always held positions in the management of the temple. Phool Chand Jain was the president of the temple management body, and his cousin brother, Padam Jain had some prominent position in the management. Babaji’s distant-cousin and Padam Jain’s son became temple’s cashier later. Around in 1950, when babaji got down with serious illness, which he recollects as TB, Phool Chand Jain went to Ayodhya to bring and set up the orange-marble idol of Lord Mahavira in the temple. The central main idol is about 900 years old, from the times of TUGHLAQ'S rule in Delhi, 1200 AD. There is a saying, ‘the older the temple, the more are the powers in it’. The idol that Phool Chand Jain brought is kept in the left section of the temple, and at about three feet, the idol is the largest idol present there, the main idol is about two feet high. The main hall in the temple is itself not very large, with the three sections covering an area of about 8-by-4 meters-squared. Manu Apartments Mavilla apartments put up silver-jubilee banner, society was 25 years old (1987-2012). As amma tells, the cost of the flat in Manu Apartments had come up to be 4 Lacs (0.4 million INR). That should be the cost to investor buyers. 30-40 years ago: babaji had registered in the court with a person for the land for the lawyers for some R200 and since then they had be giving the installments as were required until the flats were ready. He got lucky in the draw and got the first flat, the flat number one. The flat now stood at 15 million INR as the base value for the owners. Otherwise, its present let-out sale price for a buyer will be over 30 million. That is 90 times the investment value for the flat 25 years ago. Family Tree (Incomplete)

20210315 - Monitoring effects of Trinicalm Plus



Index of Journals
Date and Time: 20210315 1738

Tablet Name: TriniCalm Plus 
SALT COMPOSITION
Trifluoperazine (5mg) + Trihexyphenidyl (2mg) [Read the end notes]

1738: 1 tablet taken.

This is a TriniCalm Plus experiment to monitor the thoughts associated with it. 

I might be able to word it clearly (the experience and thoughts), or might be not.

I also took a 500 mg Paracetamol (aka Acetaminophen) for headache.

While am conscious of my thoughts and feelings, first thing I sense is my own heart inside me. It is not like there is anything special about it.

There is a temptation to write about the people from my current neighborhood like this one:
"The girl who would be with Oreo in the park"

The challeging things here are: 
I don't know the girl's name. 
I don't know where she lives. 
I don't know about her age. (My guess is that she is in: tenth or something)
I don't know if the dog she would be out with is actually the Oreo (a pug (Canis lupus familiaris)).

About the park: 
1. The first description that comes about the park is that it is in 'L' shape. 
2. Second is that you have to come to the park while walking on the street from in between the flats '678' and '1224'.

-- -- --

1756: 
I think and feel that tablet has started to affect my thoughts and attention.

1803:
Now I don't want to recall about the girl because it is stressful and while I am exerting pressure on my thinking and recollection it is giving more and more strange tension / resistance (do not have the exact description of what this feeling is) in my head. But I would not call it pain (it is absolutely not 'pain').

1806: 
Drank 10 or 12 sips of water.

1807: 
The strange feeling is now in and I can feel it whenever I draw my attention towards it in my head.

1810: 
As I walked towards the restroom, I realized that I was having a slightly elevated level of 'self-consciousnes'. It is not 'consciousness' about the things around me but about myself.

1815: 
There is a recurrent thought of anger about the people such as Abhishek Sindhwani (the man is an irritating person). 

1816: 
These thoughts about people such as Abhishek or Shivam's maternal grandma are fleeting thoughts that are arousing irritation, resentment and anger. 

1817: 
I am not very much into discussing about these people as it would be a separate activity and I would be diverting from my goal of monitoring my thoughts.

1819: 
The effect of this tablet is debilitating. It is reducing motivation to do anything such as that I am aware that I have some work to do but I am lacking motivation to do it while this 'strange feeling' is there in my head.

1822: 
I think that I should work also as I would need to report about it in the evening call.

1824: 
My mouth is dry again. Drinking 10 sips of water.

1828: 
Went to restroom.

1830: 
If I would see anyone right now, like Anil Dahiya (or such as Amitabh Manu for example) I would not be able to feel the joy or happiness that is associated with seeing a friend. I would not have the temptation to say 'hello' as I am feeling very self-coscious and am aware that my emotions (which so ever) are numb and not there.

1834: 
I should get back to work. I am okay with this emotionless state, with this elevated self-consciousness.

1835: 
I need water again. My lips are dry. Drinking 10 sips.

1845: 
Restroom visit the third time. Also I am okay with this placid state of mind, this self-consciousness and this lack of emotions.

1849: 
Mouth is dry, drinking water in 10 sips again.
The strange feeling in head or strange state of mind is now slightly better. 

1851: 
It has been over a week that I am coming to office everyday (even on weekends such as one on 13th and 14th).

1900: 
Restroom visit for the fourth time. And affirmation for handling anger and resentment is "I forgive everyone because life is too short to be little".

1909: 
Had gone out to get peanuts from FC. It is like a 10 minutes walk.

1918: 
Dropped manager a mail saying "Not feeling well. Leaving early today." and also asked on chat. He has not responded to it either. I was not able to motivate myself to work and focus.

1931: 
Restroom visit the fifth time.

1940: 
I was having dinner outside at Ravi Verma's place and I realised that I was feeling sad about having been in the situation I am in.

I was slightly back to being distractible and having feelings such as sadness and anger.

2026: 
Spoke with reception boy at office.

Drug 1: Trifluoperazine HCL Common Brand(S): Stelazine Generic Name(S): trifluoperazine Ref 1.1: webmd This medication is used to treat certain mental/mood disorders (such as schizophrenia, psychotic disorders). Trifluoperazine helps you to think more clearly, feel less nervous, and take part in everyday life. It can reduce aggressive behavior and the desire to hurt yourself/others. It may also help to decrease hallucinations (hearing/seeing things that are not there). Trifluoperazine is a psychiatric medication that belongs to the class of drugs called phenothiazine antipsychotics. It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain.This medication has also been used for the short-term treatment of anxiety. However, there are safer drugs to treat anxiety that should be used first before trifluoperazine. Ref 1.2: Wikipedia Trifluoperazine, sold under a number of brand names, is a typical antipsychotic primarily used to treat schizophrenia. It may also be used short term in those with generalized anxiety disorder but is less preferred to benzodiazepines. It is of the phenothiazine chemical class. Drug 2: Trihexyphenidyl HCL Common Brand(S): Artane Generic Name(S): trihexyphenidyl Ref 2.1: webmd Trihexyphenidyl is used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease or involuntary movements due to the side effects of certain psychiatric drugs (antipsychotics such as chlorpromazine/haloperidol). Trihexyphenidyl belongs to a class of medication called anticholinergics that work by blocking a certain natural substance (acetylcholine). This helps decrease muscle stiffness, sweating, and the production of saliva, and helps improve walking ability in people with Parkinson's disease.Anticholinergics can stop severe muscle spasms of the back, neck, and eyes that are sometimes caused by psychiatric drugs. It can also decrease other side effects such as muscle stiffness/rigidity (extrapyramidal signs-EPS). It is not helpful in treating movement problems caused by tardive dyskinesia and may worsen them. Ref 2.2: Wikipedia Trihexyphenidyl, also known as benzhexol and trihex, is an antiparkinsonian agent of the antimuscarinic class. It was approved by the FDA for the treatment of Parkinson's in 2003.

Brand Name: Classive GM
Price: 75 INR for 15g 

#1 Clobetasol Propionate

Source 1:

This medication is used to treat a variety of skin conditions (e.g., eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, allergies, rash). Clobetasol reduces the swelling, itching, and redness that can occur in these types of conditions. This medication is a very strong (super-high-potency) corticosteroid.

A highly potent drug (e.g., fentanyl, alprazolam, risperidone) evokes a given response at low concentrations, while a drug of lower potency (meperidine, diazepam, ziprasidone) evokes the same response only at higher concentrations. Higher potency does not necessarily mean more side effects.

Source 2:

Clobetasol propionate is a corticosteroid used to treat skin conditions such as eczema, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis. It is applied to the skin as a cream, ointment, or shampoo. Use should be short term and only if other weaker corticosteroids are not effective. Use is not recommended in rosacea or perioral dermatitis.

Common side effects include skin irritation, dry skin, redness, pimples, and telangiectasia. Serious side effects may include adrenal suppression, allergic reactions, cellulitis, and Cushing's syndrome. Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding is of unclear safety. Clobetasol is believed to work by activating steroid receptors. It is a US Class I (Europe: class IV) corticosteroid, making it one of the strongest available.

Clobetasol propionate was patented in 1968 and came into medical use in 1978. It is available as a generic medication. In 2017, it was the 209th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than two million prescriptions.

Common side effects include itchiness or irritation of the area in which it was applied. Use in pregnancy is believed to be safe for the baby. Miconazole is in the imidazole family of medications.

Some products also come with a skin cream to be applied to the area around the outside of the vagina. Ask your doctor before using this medication for self-treatment if this is your first vaginal infection. This medication only works for vaginal fungal infections. You may have a different type of infection (such as bacterial vaginosis) and may need a different medication. If you have fever, chills, flu-like symptoms, stomach/abdominal pain, or a bad-smelling vaginal discharge, do not use this medication.
