A committer is an individual who is permitted to modify the source code of a software project, [1] [2] that will be used in the project's official releases. [3] To contribute source code to most large software projects, one must make modifications and then "commit" those changes to a central version control system, such as Git (or CVS).
Contributions to a source code repository that uses a distributed version control system are commonly made by means of a pull request, also known as a merge request. [11] The contributor requests that the project maintainer pull the source code change, hence the name "pull request".
GitHub (/ ˈ ɡ ɪ t h ʌ b /) is a proprietary developer platform that allows developers to create, store, manage, and share their code. It uses Git to provide distributed version control and GitHub itself provides access control, bug tracking, software feature requests, task management, continuous integration, and wikis for every project.

Developers can load predefined tasks from existing Grunt plugins and/or write custom code to define their own tasks depending on their requirements. Once defined, these tasks can be run from the command line by simply executing grunt <taskname>. If the <taskname> defined in the Gruntfile is 'default' then simply executing grunt will suffice.
Version control (also known as revision control, source control, and source code management) is the software engineering practice of controlling, organizing, and tracking different versions in history of computer files; primarily source code text files, but generally any type of file.
In computer programming and software design, code refactoring is the process of restructuring existing source code—changing the factoring—without changing its external behavior. Refactoring is intended to improve the design, structure, and/or implementation of the software (its non-functional attributes), while preserving its functionality .
A study from the University of Maryland found that Android developers that used only Stack Overflow as their programming resource tended to write less secure code than those who used only the official Android developer documentation from Google, while developers using only the official Android documentation tended to write significantly less ...
