Suggestions & Tips
An active GitHub repository with many open/closed issues is usually a good sign.
Always look for backup codebase so that you have a plan B. Any online repository is not guaranteed to work.
If you plan to train or finetune something, think about the “data & model” at the same time. You will need the right dataset and the right model to succeed.
