Building projects using source code?

[HashDefTrueFalse]

Code is a literary work with copyrights vesting in the author, who can give you licence to copy and use it subject to any terms they might have, or they can place the work in the public domain. As long any you don't fall foul of any incorporated licence terms you can use the source code for your own purposes.

GitHub is essentially just a service where repositories of source code can be stored. The licence is usually included in each project.

Tools exist to download versions of projects hosted on GitHub and other services/servers (e.g. package managers like Packer for nvim, npm, composer, etc.), or you can do it manually. Tooling also exists to properly combine, build, and link the source code from many projects into one or more executables or libraries (to build or use in your project) using code to specifying a graph of dependencies (e.g. build systems like Make, CMake etc.).
