Project One Github - Compiler? , Interpreter? , Code Editor


Define the value of GITHUB vx. Private code AND is Github a compiler? or an interpreter? can it produce run time tests?






GITHUB - Fish, Frog or Fowl?

Compiler - Computer Specific, a program that converts instructions into a machine-code or lower-level form so that they can be read and executed by a (specific) computer. Wiki and more at https://techterms.com/definition/compiler The Compiler Translates Code into Computer (build) specific machine code is a per unit solution.

pros operating system specific code compiling can access features interpreters cannot. Is not a agile as run time reading.

Interpreter Computer a program that can analyze and execute a program line by line. Wiki and better at https://techterms.com/definition/interpreter and Interpreters bypass compilers and run code directly.

pros runtime code reading cons since not turned into machine language


Wiki confirms code versioning controls and code hosting but not a compiler or interpreter... just the code.. just the code for teamwork developing controls and looks like linux is the domain so far... pending review.



At first look GITHUB is just a code reader.... look to see how to run test files there or see if a different solution is needed. ok simple lines here explain what I was thinking this is not a compiler or an interpreter it is a versioning control method conceived from a Linux Context https://readwrite.com/2013/09/30/understanding-github-a-journey-for-beginners-part-1/  that explains the oddity of not being able to work with languages from the outset. Resolved that this is versioning control and more of a blog line. We need a cloud based host with full compiling and ideally free space.

Next...
