Application development - Technology
Source code
The written instructions developers create to make software work
What's it for?
Gives developers the human-readable instructions they can edit to change how software behaves.
For example…
A developer changes the source code to fix a bug.
Developers edit the application's source code in Git, review changes and then build it into the software users actually run
Think of it like…
The recipe behind a meal: the finished dish is what diners see; the recipe is what cooks change
