About GitHub Community Exchange

GitHub Community Exchange is a student community within the GitHub Global Campus portal. As a student, it's a place where you can get exposure for your project and discover other student repositories in need of collaborators and maintainers.

You can help your peers learn open source skills, become a project maintainer, and grow your GitHub portfolio and network within a safe and verified community platform.

GitHub Community Exchange allows you to:

  • Discover student created repositories
  • Star repositories of interest
  • Submit a repository in need of collaborators
  • Submit a repository to teach new skills
  • Manage your repository submissions

For more information, see "Contribute with GitHub Community Exchange."
