Open Source Software: Top Sites
Datamation, March 15th, 2023
Open source software is a type of software that allows anyone to view the code, and then use the code to contribute to or create other projects. Some examples of open source sites include GitHub, AlternativeTo, and SourceForge.
This list of open source sites includes several categories - each of which will be of interest to open source software users.
The 'project hosting' category includes giants who provide server space for open source code and allow downloads. The 'directories' category includes sites that have created lists of open source projects. The 'best open source lists' sites have made a list of great open source software. And sites that didn't fall neatly into one of these categories landed in the 'miscellaneous' group at the end.
