How to read code on github?

• Odoo

  151 34,643 10.0 Python

  Odoo. Open Source Apps To Grow Your Business.

  

The "main file" of the third repository, according to https://www.odoo.com/documentation/16.0/administration/install/install.html, seems to be https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/16.0/odoo-bin

• GnuCash

  115 3,001 9.8 C

  GnuCash Double-Entry Accounting Program.

  

For the first repository, gnucash, it appears to be a C++ application. The common convention for a C++ app is to have the "main()" function inside a source file with the same name as the library, e.g. "gnucash.cpp". And sure enough, here it is. If I didn't think to guess that it was in that file, I could always just download the repository and do a CTRL-F for "main(". That would lead me to it immediately.

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io featured

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.
