Social Coding

Definitions

1. A model of software development where coding activity is publicly visible, collaborative, and socially structured through pull requests, stars, forks, comments, and shared repositories. The phrase is strongly associated with GitHub-era development culture.

   In plain English: Writing code in a way that is highly collaborative and publicly visible online.

   Example: "GitHub normalized social coding by making contribution history part of public developer identity."
