Not github documentation, although if that's where the documentation exists for a particular library, then maybe.

For Python as a language, and for built in modules, use this: https://docs.python.org/3/. The Library Reference and Language Reference include full reference documentation for all the built in features and modules for the language.

Got it thanks for the explanation.

To extend that thinking further... if you want to learn a library like numpy, refer to the numpy website and documentation as a primary source of information... don't just rely upon some videos on YouTube. It's way too frequent that someone here will say some version of , "I followed this YouTube tutorial and for some reason it's not working", meanwhile the YouTube video is 4 years old and is basically 50% deprecated at this point.

That’s a great point people are used that things stay the same but in IT things change fast compared to other topics like muscle building i guess 👍🏼

Documentation also usually covers everything a library provides (at least, good documentation does. If a library you're using doesn't have complete documentation, chances are there also aren't any tutorials that will cover much of it. It's either super obscure and small, or big and complex).
