Is Github.com source code open source? [closed]

... or the shoemaker's children go barefoot?

I would like to fix some styling & have an idea for the feature (and a lot of free time) but I cannot find any github.com page on github.com.

Is GitHub source code open source?

GitHub is not open source. Pragmatically, this doesn't make much of a difference to most users. The vast majority of code put onto GitHub is, presumably, encouraged to be shared by everyone, so GitHub's primary function is a sort of public backup service.
