Understanding Github

Im having a hard time understanding github. When I go under the "explore" tap I find some things. But it comes across as mysterious if you don't already know some projects on there.

I would like to find some projects and applications in different languages (javascript,php, swift) just to read through them.

Is there an easy way to find projects to just read the code?

I see what you mean. Instead of going to the explore section, there is a search box to the left of that, search github, type in a language you want to search for, and it'll list the projects tagged with that language. Alternatively, if you wanted to search for say projects dealing with logins, you could search "login," and on the left side of the results list, will display a list and languages tagged with it. So if you wanted to view login projects built with php or javascript, thats the area to select from.
