How do I ensure the freelancer follows best practices on GitHub?

What kind of projects can a GitHub expert help me with?

A GitHub expert can help with software development, web apps, and mobile apps. They can also manage open source contributions or set up project automation. Ensure your needs match their expertise.

How can I define clear deliverables with a GitHub expert?
